For more than 10 years, the US, Canadian and European CIPP credentials have been recognised as the world’s pre-eminent badge of excellence in the business of privacy – the “what” of data protection laws and regulations. We are delighted that the International Association of Privacy Professionals has now introduced the CIPP/Asia credential. It demonstrates your understanding of data protection regulations, standards and practices in this part of the world.

The IAPP - Certified Information Privacy Professional/Asia (CIPP/A) is the first publicly available privacy certification that covers multiple jurisdictions in the Asia region. It addresses the data protection laws in Hong Kong, India and Singapore and the regional privacy concerns in this rapidly growing landscape. The credential is designed for any person, regardless of location, whose work as a privacy professional involves Asian data protection regulations.

Be internationally certified and recognised as an expert. And position yourself to help meet the shortage of data protection expertise locally and in the region.

Straits Interactive is the only premier IAPP Official Training Partner who delivers the formal training of CIPP/A globally outside of Singapore.

Practical but at same time analysis of a large range of law & information from numerous sources sensibly broken down over the 3 days of course. Particularly geared towards exam requirements.

Speakers are all clear and experienced and they are able to share their experience and views on interesting cases. The online participation is good and almost seamless, except for the small technical glitch on the audio on the first day afternoon. Many thanks to you all.

Good session. Interesting and interactive. Instructors are engaging and knowledgeable. Better understanding of the data protection requirements for Singapore, India and Hong Kong.

Kay Lim
Compliance Officer

A good experience with online learning; it works.

Leong Kiah PUA
Chief Information Security Officer Asia

It is great! I was skeptical about doing the course online at first but Celine, Lyn and William have made the entire course very engaging and interesting. I particularly appreciate that a lot of the conversation/points were not just for the purpose of taking the exam but also the current situation and development on privacy laws as well as practical tips useful for our work. A lot! But I particularly enjoyed Day 1 morning session on the evolution of privacy laws - it gave an extremely good overview.

Eunice Mah
Legal Counsel

Exceptionally good. The online interaction has been the best I have seen for an online course. I was so pleasantly surprised by the level of interaction. It was so engaging! Directly relevant to the certification I am to take. You could see the customisation of content through each step. Instructors were very practical. Very clear. It takes consummate skill to be that good. Even complex material can be explained well when you have expert trainers.

Padraig Walsh
Partner, Tanner De Witt

The trainers were extremely experienced and the pace of the course is just right. I've learned a lot from this course and am looking forward to using the knowledge in my course of work. I've learned many things! It's hard to pinpoint on one but it's good to know countries are stepping up their privacy game and setting GDPR as the golden standard.

Lynn Chng
Business Services & Compliance Manager

Great experience, I was hesitant at first but definitely turned out to be as well as an in-person training. Interactive, engaging and knowledgeable trainers. It was great covering exam strategy, techniques and going through questions.

Adelene Seah
Counsel (SEA & Korea)

The course was very helpful in helping me have a broad understanding of the privacy laws and practices in the respective countries that were discussed.

Course Participant - September 2020

Very informative and interactive class. One thing I learnt from the class is the rights of data subjects in Hong Kong, Singapore and India.

Ella Mae Senorin
BCP and Compliance Officer

Very good workshop, good content and instructors.

Course Participant - September 2020

The training was enriching and enjoyable. Excellent content and exam tips shared. Trainers are knowledgeable, engaging and helpful. The admin support provided was very good too, especially with the Zoom setup. This is the best course I've attended in awhile.

Ziying
Legal Counsel

Excellent. Straits Interactive has a good set up and the trainers really know their stuff. One thing that I have learnt is that there are commonalities between different data privacy laws in Asia. I expected that they would all be very different from one another .

Course Participant - November 2020

The CIPP/A training has been really good by all 3 trainers Lyn, Celine and William. I loved how the trainers all shared the practical and pragmatic of what is for exam taking purposes and what is really operational.
