I read through the Irish DPC document on Data Protection Officer qualifications, but sadly it doesn’t say much more than is in the regulation itself.
Their assessment just reads more like common sense:
“In undertaking such an assessment, organisations should be aware that there are various training options that may be pursued. Some training courses are one-day sessions, while some are online only. Others lead to academically accredited certificates such as diplomas from national law societies. There are also other professional training programmes which are recognised internationally and that offer professional qualifications that require an ongoing commitment to training in order to maintain the professional qualification.”
For myself, I’m up to the GDPR Practitioner (second level) course offered by IT Governance. I actually do think it’s worth the money for anyone interested in this area.
