GDPR - EduCare

[DavePa]

If anybody subscribes to EduCare they have now released a GDPR course that awards a nice certificate based on your ability to correctly answer 10 questions based on the course materials.

Educare, where you put the study material on one side of the screen, and the test on the other, and don't learn anything.

That's the one - although in my case it's become more of a game to blast through the questions in 2 minutes and then take 10 minutes to keep clicking 'next' on the study material as otherwise you can't complete it. But hey, I now have a certificate saying I have passed GDPR level 2 (Level 2! That must be advanced) which must be a passport to a £50k DPO role somewhere

Or proof that 99% of certificates are useless

How can you get certified as competent in something which hasn't been ratified yet?!

Our school record for an Educare course is 18 seconds.

When I built a short course for ISO27001 in my last place, the quickest it was done in was 25 mins ... and then they had to do a follow up session a few weeks later (to compare answers) and you could spot those who were good at guessing things.

 

The trick is not to do a course to become accredited, but for an organisation to use the results from the course, along side information from internal audits, to focus on more in depth materials.
