PDPA Training Programmes
Practical, HRD Corp claimable training covering PDPA compliance, DPO certification, and the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 and 2024 amendments. Available as in-house, public, or online sessions across Malaysia.
This page is the entry point to the PDPA and Data Protection Officer training line rather than a single course. Three programmes sit beneath it, and which one you need depends on the role being filled. PDPA Awareness is for all staff and covers the obligations that apply to anyone handling personal data in daily work. DPO Foundations is for a newly appointed officer who needs the full compliance picture, from the seven principles through consent, retention and data subject rights. Advanced DPO is for experienced practitioners taking on governance, risk and enterprise implementation. All three reflect the 2024 amendments, including mandatory DPO appointment, breach notification and data portability.
