CIPP/E Self-Study

Can anyone recommend a good book or video series (or both) for the CIPP/E from iapp? I'm looking to do CIPP/E through to CIPM and on to CISSP and the like after.

I would recommend European Data Protection Law & Practice from the IAPP (https://iapp.org/store/books/a191a000002F94uAAC/). You can get a print copy or electronic.

I attended the DPO readiness course but found the exam very hard until the above was released in November. That book coupled with a clear knowledge and understanding of GDPR is very important in my opinion. In addition to this, the Exam Blueprint and Body of Knowledge is helpful, and I found Chapter 2 being the key one to focus on

That's exactly why I'm doing it, thank you.

I'm taking up a DPO role within my company and am looking to make sure I'm walking in with the right knowledge.

Thanks!

I'd definitely say its something you can do via self study and for the sake of $75 the book definitely gives you the IAPP slant on things including terminology and an understanding of how to answer a specific question/topic.

Looking at your sig, you will have picked sufficient knowledge up during the PECB course - and as I say, couple that with the book and a knowledge of GDPR you should have the tools to get you through. Just consider the CIPP/E is very IAPP focussed, hence my comment about understanding the answer etc.

Good luck and congratulations in picking up the role

I am doing the CIPPe - self study route, like my previous 30 odd certs.
Do search for CIPPe, if you haven't already on this forum, Lizette....something has a great guide, I'm using this, along with the official European Data Protection -Law and Practice book, CIPPe blueprint and the sample questions, I've scheduled for this month, let us know how you get on...
