Please note that the Practitioner Certificate in Personal Data Protection (Singapore) 2020 course is expected to be Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) accredited by Q3 2022. Upon successful completion of course and assessment, the learner will be awarded the SkillsFuture Singapore Statement of Attainment (SOA).

To enhance the capabilities of Data Protection Officers (DPOs) in organisations, a three-day preparatory course - "Practitioner Certificate in Personal Data Protection (Singapore) 2020 (WSQ)" - has been developed to equip them with practical data governance and data protection knowledge and skills, and learn to utilise risk-based tools to establish a robust data protection infrastructure for their organisation.

This is an intermediate course that complements the introductory course on the PDPA (titled "Fundamentals of the PDPA (2020)") under the SkillsFuture Singapore's Skills framework for ICT. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive the WSQ Statement of Attainment (SOA) issued by SkillsFuture Singapore.

Additionally, there is an optional computer-based examination that participants can take after the completion of their course to obtain the Practitioner Certificate for Personal Data Protection (Singapore), co-issued by the PDPC and the International Association for Privacy Professionals (IAPP).
