European Privacy Foundations
490 euro

A foundation-level programme for professionals starting from zero or needing a structured grounding in European privacy and data protection law.

Best for 
  • Beginners and career changers

  • Legal, compliance, HR, IT, product or business professionals newly exposed to privacy

  • People preparing to enter the full bootcamp

Core programme
Privacy Career Bootcamp
Founder cohort from 1 800 €

A 12-week live career bootcamp where participants work through one running EU smart wearable case company, build a cumulative privacy compliance file, prepare strategically for CIPP/E and turn practical work into career evidence for privacy, DPO-track roles or internal growth.

Best for 
  • Professionals serious about moving into privacy

  • Junior privacy, legal and compliance professionals

  • People aiming for privacy analyst, specialist, counsel, manager or DPO-track roles

  • Professionals who want practical documents, feedback and career direction

  • Professionals who want certification readiness as part of a broader career path, not only exam preparation

Built-in path
CIPP/E readiness

The bootcamp includes CIPP/E-oriented preparation as part of the full professional journey. Participants build the European privacy foundation, learn how to approach certification topics strategically and receive guidance for their exam preparation.

The official CIPP/E examination and certification are administered separately by the IAPP and are not included in the bootcamp fee unless explicitly stated.

Built-in path
CIPP/E Exam Sprint

A focused exam-preparation sprint may be offered for prepared learners and bootcamp graduates who already have the required privacy and data protection foundation.

This sprint is an optional add-on or standalone exam-preparation format. It is not the main career programme and does not replace the full bootcamp.

Advanced
Privacy Management & CIPM Programme

An advanced management programme for professionals moving from privacy law and compliance knowledge into privacy programme management.

Designed for people who want to establish, maintain and manage privacy programmes, strengthen their privacy leadership profile and prepare for CIPM-oriented management responsibilities.

Path 02

AI Governance Track

For privacy, legal, compliance, risk, product, security and data professionals who want to move into AI governance roles — or add AI governance capability to their current work.

The bootcamp includes a built-in AIGP readiness path: participants build the AI governance foundation, understand the certification domains and receive strategic preparation guidance.

The official AIGP examination and certification are administered separately by the IAPP and are not included in the bootcamp fee unless explicitly stated.

Built-in path
AIGP Exam Sprint

A focused exam-preparation sprint may be offered for prepared learners and bootcamp graduates who already have the required privacy and data protection foundation.

This sprint is an optional add-on or standalone exam-preparation format. It is not the main career programme and does not replace the full bootcamp.
