Act Now Training, in collaboration with Middlesex University Dubai, is excited to announce the launch of the UAE’s first Data Protection Executive training programme. This qualification is ideal as a foundation for businesses and organisations aiming to comply with the UAE Federal Data Protection Law.
This practical course focusses on developing a data protection framework and ensuring compliance with the UAE Data Protection Law’s strict requirements. This is particularly relevant given the recent advancements in Data Protection law in the Middle East, including the UAE’s first comprehensive national data protection law, Federal Decree Law No. 45/2021.
This law regulates personal data processing, emphasising transparency, accountability, and data subject rights. It applies to all organisations processing personal data within the UAE and abroad for UAE residents.
The importance of understanding this law is paramount for every business and organisation, as it necessitates a thorough reassessment of personal data handling practices. Non-compliance can lead to severe penalties and reputational damage.
The Executive Certificate in UAE DP Law is a practical qualification delivered over 5-weeks in two half day sessions per week and offers numerous benefits:
- Expertise in Cutting-Edge Legislation: Gain in-depth knowledge of the UAE’s data protection law, essential for professionals at the forefront of data protection practices.
- Professional Development: This knowledge enhances your resume, especially for roles in compliance, legal, and IT sectors, showing a commitment to legal reforms.
- Practical Application: The course’s structured format allows gradual learning and practical application of complex legal concepts, ensuring a deep understanding of the law.
- Risk Mitigation: Understanding the law aids in helping organisations avoid penalties and reputational harm due to non-compliance.
- Networking Opportunities: The course provides valuable connections in the field of data protection and law.
- Empowerment of Data Subjects: Delegates gain insights into their rights as data subjects, empowering them to protect their personal data effectively.
Delegates will receive extensive support, including expert instruction, comprehensive materials, interactive sessions, practical exercises, group collaboration, ongoing assessment, and additional resources for further learning. Personal tutor support is also provided throughout the course.
This program is highly recommended for officers in organisations both inside and outside the UAE that conduct business in the region or have customers, agents, and employees there.
