What is the CIPP/E?

The International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) is a non-profit organisation that provides privacy and data protection education and certifications.

 

The Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe Exam or (CIPP/E for short) is set by the IAPP and consists of 90 multiple-choice questions. 75 questions are graded and you have 2.5 hours.

 

You can sit and schedule the CIPP/E in any PearsonVue Centre or often, even remotely through your own laptop.

Why take the CIPP/E?

Boost your GDPR knowledge

Boost your GDPR knowledge

Many in-house legal and compliance jobs and roles require some knowledge of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR") and the protection of people's data. 

The GDPR was one of the most fundamental and ground-breaking laws that was introduced in the European Union and touched almost every aspect of life. 

Make your CV stand out

Make your CV stand out

The job market can be very competitive and you will want to make your CV stand out! 

Passing the CIPP/E will help you demonstrate that you have a foundation in data protection and GPDR knowledge. 

Adding a CIPP/E certification to your CV will help you stand out and give employers confidence in your privacy skills! 

Be a valuable asset

Many businesses need to be GDPR-compliant and have awareness of their obligations under the GDPR. 

Lots of businesses struggle with resource and having budget to hire external expertise. 

Having a basic understanding of the GDPR and advising your employer or your own business of what needs to be done, can avoid headaches and turn you into an invaluable asset.

Who will teach me?

madeleine weber

Hi there

My name is Madeleine Weber!

I have been working as a legal professional for half a decade, predominantly in the IT industry as an in-house counsel.

My day-to-day job as an in-house lawyer involves a lot of drafting and negotiating of data protection agreements. Therefore, I accumulated a lot of experience in data protection and the EU GDPR, in particular.

However, I found that in order to progress in my career, I had to prove that knowledge by passing the CIPP/E and becoming a certified privacy professional.

I sat the exam in November 2021 and passed on my first attempt.

I am so excited to be in a position to provide you with the resources I wish I had when I studied for the CIPP/E.

FAQ

What else do I need to pass the CIPP/E?

I would also recommend to purchase the latest edition of the recommended textbook: European Data Protection by Eduardo Ustaran. 

You will also need to budget costs to book and sit the CIPP/E exam (remember, to be certified, you will also need to become a member of IAPP) - always check the IAPP website for the latest fees (at the moment, the exam fee is $550 and the membership fee is $250).

Bear in mind that this product DOES NOT CONTAIN the actual exam, the membership, nor the textbook.
