An advanced practitioner certificate for data protection officers & compliance professionals with processing operations based in the UK First launched in 1999, the BCS (formerly ISEB) Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection is the leading independent professional workplace qualification for individuals with privacy or data protection responsibilities. Over the years, the BCS has continued to evolve the practitioner certificate to keep pace with the advances in UK and EU legislation. In doing so, the BCS Practitioner Certificate has become the most trusted data protection training programme in the UK and is often listed by employers as a required qualification. The current version of the BCS syllabus (v9.7) from June 2023 covers the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). It takes into account the legislative changes following the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020, when the UK formally ceased to be a member state of the EU, and also considers the proposed changes within the Data Protection and Digital Information (No.2) Bill. It also examines the concepts of artificial intelligence and the overlap with information access requirements.
