Testimonials

Before, my misperception is that a DPO is a lawyer's job. This course has been very informative. After 5 days, I could say that I have sufficient knowledge in data privacy which I can use in advising my clients.

Participant

Comprehensive and structured. Totally helpful and relevant. Instructor, Kevin is unquestionably very competent – unselfish with his knowledge and very open to inputs of participants.

Rachel Follosco

The workshop highlights the operational compliance which is more needed by organizations and employees in their day to day business.

Mr Reyes
Business Development Manager

Very comprehensive, covers end to end. Everything I needed to know is tackled.

Rhea A. Taneo
GM CAC Legal/DPO

Absolutely relevant! Instructor knowledge and delivery was excellent!

Ian Bermeo

The training course provided a great balance between theory and practice. The materials provided are informative and comprehensive which the speakers have excellently explained. The humor and real life examples provided by the speakers have made the online training a very amazing experience. It increased my awareness and knowledge of data privacy that I can make use in my profession as a lawyer. It will definitely help me in my business processes for my own company as well.

Pamela Felizarta
Owner/Corp Secretary- SGFCC Food Phils. Inc

I got to share insights with other privacy practitioners. There were great interactions with all resource speakers.I received clarifications on some gray areas in privacy management and tried the DPOinBOX software which I think is a great tool for our privacy management.

Edison Kwong

Very comprehensive on how to comply with DPA. I like the hands-on workshop on the actual risk assessment/identification.

Joseph Media
Bank Compliance Officer

The Hands on Data Protection and Cybersecurity workshop was very informative and it gave me the whole picture on how to run the compliance on DPA. It is very relevant specially the risk identification & mitigation

Josue Obelidor
DPO

The materials are helpful, the speakers and lecturers are very knowledgeable. The course delivery presented is perfect for the layman. One thing I learnt is not to be daunted or intimidated with the DPA. The DPA is a tool, rather than a restrictive mechanism. Training via Zoom is difficult because of non-verbal cues. Speakers were able to infuse additional info not in the materials and were able to keep my attention, so good job!

Course Participant - May 2021

I learnt that there are easier ways to implement the DPA. One can be knowledgeable but not competent. This course gave me more confidence that I'd be able to implement practices and procedures that will comply with the DPA. The online training was hassle-free! I learned a lot and had fun. Thank you very much!

Joseph Barquin
Anti-Money Laundering Head and Data Privacy Officer

Trainers were very knowledgeable and shared actual experiences. It was an enjoyable learning experience to create an actual risk assessment. I can now start identifying risks, create business processes and insert a culture of compliance and privacy in our company.

Raymund Catiis
Technical Manager

The content and delivery are very relevant. The whole training is able to provide a clear career path for those who intend to be (and has been assigned) as Data Protections Officers (DPOs). Purpose is prime when handling, processing, more so when intending data collection. Unclear purposes may lead to data breaches.

Course Participant - May 2021

The DPO training effectively puts across its learning objectives in relation to the DPA. It provided real-life scenarios where DPA / GDPR is implemented. It is an eye opener for every DPO whose foremost duty is to protect the personal and sensitive information of the data subjects in their respective organizations. Overall, the training has been beneficial and productive.

Course Participant - Apr/May 2022

The trainer provides relatable and relevant examples and anecdotes during his lectures. He always reminds us to grab a cup of coffee before class but since his lectures are very insightful and engaging, you won't find yourself feeling sleepy :D

Course Participant - Apr/May 2022

Thank you, AIM esp. Sir Edwin, for making our DPO training/experience an interesting subject for me. It may be a challenging role to be a DPO yet the content knowledge we gained from the webinar is at par enlightening, engaging, and impactful. I am hopeful that I will be making connections with theory and application as I carry out my tasks/duties as DPO.

Course Participant - Apr/May 2022

The case studies, case activities using the DPOinBOX software from Straits Interactive are very helpful and interactive in helping us to understand and apply what we have learnt in the training.

Thank you for the 5 half-days training! As a lawyer, I only see policies as is so it really helped that the approach was not limited to theoretical application but more on actual cases.

Edione Quinones

My key takeaway is that data protection should contribute to the business objective of our organization. Otherwise, leadership will see it as a hindrance to business and a mere compliance exercise.

Course Participant - Nov 2023

The course was delivered with more case analyses and it really helped me in understanding what better practices of data privacy protection can be implemented in our organization.

Grevered Gallego

The DPO training provided by AIM and Straits Interactive was comprehensive. It provides both legal and operational framework for compliance and management of data privacy programs at the industry level

Neil Rapatan

Before the course, I thought consent was the most important lawful criteria for our processing. In our company, I always advised the process owners to obtain consent. After the course, I learned it was the weakest.

Course Participant - Nov 2023

Before the course,operationalizing data privacy was a challenge. After the course, I have gained tools to achieve operational compliance. I also learnt how important it is to keep privacy notices simple.

After the 5 half-days of class, I realized that reading the law is not enough. The practical exercise helped me a lot in understanding the correct implementation of the DPA.

Course Participant - Nov 2023

The DPO course training is awesome and very helpful. The speakers are very good. It helps me to clearly understand the Data Privacy Principles, Processes, Risk Management Policies and the Data Privacy Act.

Course Participant - Nov 2023

I realized that Data Protection is not a one-time, single person’s effort and that it is in fact a continuing and multi-person disciplinary effort.
