Great insight. Personally came from a legal background, went into some small legal assistant roles then eventually into info compliance audit -> records manager -> DPO. There's lots of growth opportunities in the public sector in particular.
@moniquegordon9812 Absolutely 100% if you want to follow a similar path to DPO role. Highly recommend doing the IAPP CIPP/E cert alongside the above - especially when it comes to applying for the DPO role itself. Not mandatory at all but a very desirable cert in this field and will help a lot.
@@KirkpatrickSounds What country do you work in? I am finishing law school, I am South American but also EU citizen. I want to find a job in Europe and I wonder if CIPP/E would be good enough to get me an entry level job in the industry.
Great video. I started working in data protection just over a year ago coming from a legal background. Started as a DP Assistant with a large company and now work as a DP manager in the public sector. Completely agree that the best thing to do is to listen to, and learn from, those around you doing the job. I do want to progress onto one of the DP qualifications mentioned in the future, is there a preferred one or do they both carry equivalent weight in your opinion?
Thank you! That’s amazing, so good to hear you’ve started your journey. Having a legal background is always going to be beneficial as well! Qualifications are very much personal choice. The CIPP/E is very well known and recognised but for many, the BCS is technically more challenging and arguably better. Both courses are great for the CV and future roles though
@@SergeDPO www.bcs.org/get-qualified/certifications-for-professionals/gdpr-and-data-protection-certifications/bcs-practitioner-certificate-in-data-protection/ it's a very good, comprehensive course for the more experienced DPO
Great video! I am from Turkey and working as an in-house data protection lawyer in a global company where located all over the world. I would like to work in Europe but do not sure how to go forward. Is there any eligibility requirement that registration in a relevant countries’ bar for instance? Where should I start to enhance my knowledge? Is is enough to get certificate from CIPP/EU or is there any different recommendation for aliens? I will also consider to transfer to Europe within my company but still some questions as I’ve asked… Many thanks in advance for your reply!
There is no eligibility requirement as such. You need to have a clear understanding of the GDPR of course and if you want to practice in a certain country, then understanding their local laws is key. The CIPP/E is well recognized by employers now and will make you more appealing as a candidate! Good luck!
The apprenticeship was launched last year and is going well. If you are on LinkedIn, check out Beverley McGowan and Specialists Hub, they have some vacancies open for roles at the minute www.linkedin.com/posts/bevmcgowan_applications-close-28th-february-start-activity-7035282315933024256-i8GE?
Hi, you mentioned that you are working on Data protection apprenticeship. Is it running at the moment as I’d really love to be a part of it. Thanks very much
Of course, if you come from an IT background then understanding ISO27001 and risk can help you start to transfer your knowledge to privacy. If you have a privacy team in your current business, talk to them, ask if you can shadow them or be involved in DPIA's and work from there.

@LimeeSlime I'm based in the UK myself. CIPP/E would be more than enough, so definitely go for it if that's what you want to do! Good luck.
I am following you very strongly... looking forward more learnings!
Thank you! Comments like yours encourage me to do more! 🙏🏻

Hi I am from technical background can I do this data privacy career?

@@iSTORMDiaries also is it good field to go through for a technical guy from coding background
