What is the Foundation Certification?

The Foundation Masterclass course is a program to prepare the participant to get all the essential information and groundwork on the subject in question. The Foundation level of proficiency gives a comprehensive introduction to the subject matter at an implementation level. Each slide in the presentations has notes and speak at the beginning of each chapter. The Foundation level certification masterclass is also suitable for all professionals who want to get the basic knowledge on the compliance subject. Consultants and project managers involved in any corporate activity with the desire to get information on the various applications, systems and guidance on that particular subject matter can also start with the Foundation level. All our masterclass events include a practical understanding of the Governance, Risk Management, Compliance and IT security components and implications for the organisation as a common denominator. And finally, the Foundation certification masterclass will attain the correct level of qualifications and skills to pursue the next level of qualification, i.e. the Officer level.

The Officer level Masterclass Course focuses on the role and responsibilities of the Compliance Officer. The participants are CxO, DPO, Data Controller or Processor, Compliance Officer, Risk Officer etc. who wish to get a wide-ranging knowledge to upgrade their knowledge and skills.
