Course Overview
IAPP Official Certification Training
CIPM Training Course
IAPP’s CIPM training covers the practical aspects of privacy compliance. Participants learn how to smoothly operate global privacy compliance without relying heavily on specific laws. CIPM training provides practical guidance for real-world challenges, covering topics such as how to structure your organization and how to measure whether your privacy programs are working effectively.
As privacy-related regulations are rapidly being developed worldwide, there is an increasing need to operate privacy programs that comply with multiple regulations.

IAPP’s CIPM has officially been recognized in France and Brazil as one of the certifications that reliable DPOs should possess.

FAQ
-
Q: How are the training programs developed?
A: The training programs are created based on what we call the Body of Knowledge (BoK), exam blueprints, textbooks, and research findings as well as publications from experts, legal professionals, and privacy specialists. They are carefully designed with the involvement of educational design experts and subject matter experts throughout the entire process to help participants deepen their understanding.
-
Q: What format will the training be conducted in?
A: We conduct our 2-day training either via Zoom or in person. We had halted our face-to-face training during the COVID period but have already resumed offering both formats. The online training includes chat sessions, which are conducted in as interactive a format as possible, incorporating two-way exchanges. Additionally, it is possible to implement this training as corporate in-house training, which will be limited to members from the same company only.
-
Q: Does the training include the latest privacy news and trends?
A: IAPP training is regularly updated and designed to reflect the latest trends as much as possible. Moreover, since our trainers are privacy experts, they provide information on the latest trends as needed throughout the training. Even if the latest news is not covered during the training session, you can ask the trainer questions, and they can provide information on current trends.
-
Q: Do I need to take the official IAPP training to pass the CIPP or CIPM exams?
A: You can pass the certification exams without taking the training. The value of taking IAPP training lies in being able to efficiently learn the knowledge framework required for the certification exams. Additionally, the appeal of our IAPP training includes explanations gained from instructors’ practical experience and ongoing support, as well as valuable networking opportunities through participation in the alumni community of students. We confidently recommend our IAPP training for those who want to achieve long-term success in the privacy industry.
-
Q: What are the exam sample questions provided after training completion?
A: Sample questions are not from the actual tests, so they do not necessarily represent the full scope of the exam. However, they are useful for getting familiar with the exam format. They can be used not only for exam preparation but also for reviewing learned content, identifying weaknesses, and testing your knowledge.
-
Q: There are several types of training available. Which training should I take?
A: You should decide based on your current job or position, the job or position you wish to pursue in the future, and your professional need regarding which regions you are most involved with. If you want to systematically learn legal knowledge by jurisdiction, you should take the training related to CIPP certification (CIPP/E, CIPP/US). If you want to learn about privacy governance, you should take training on privacy program management (CIPM). If you want to learn about the relationship between privacy and technology or Privacy by Design, the CIPT training is recommended.
