Gain a globally recognised privacy certification with the IAPP Certified Information Privacy Manager qualification
As an Official Training Partner of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), Simply Privacy offers the well established and globally recognised Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) training and certification.
Delivered online over four days, the CIPM training and certification will provide you with the knowledge and credential that says that you’re a leader in privacy program administration and that you’ve got the goods to establish, maintain and manage a privacy program across all stages of its life cycle. It will provide you with the skills to design, build and develop a comprehensive privacy programme.
Our experienced facilitator, Emma Pond, will deliver this training. Emma is a highly experienced privacy professional, with 20+ years of experience in advising on privacy across the public, private and community sectors, including delivering privacy training.
What is CIPM?
The CIPM is the world’s first and only certification in information privacy management. Developed by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the CIPM certification is accredited under ISO 17024: 2012.
When you earn a CIPM, you are demonstrating that you know how to develop a privacy programme and make it practically work for your organisation. The CIPM course helps you to learn about privacy regulation and how to apply those regulations on a day to day operational basis in your organisation.
This course is ideal for Privacy Officers and others who have responsibility for privacy and data protection compliance in their organisation. The training will be limited to small numbers to allow for interaction and participation.This training course leads to a certification upon successful completion of the CIPM exam.
Please note that you will need to do your own study of the CIPM materials in addition to this training to have the best chance at success in the exam – IAPP recommends an additional 30 hours of study. The training will be limited to small numbers to allow for interaction and participation.

What’s the difference between the CIPM and the Privacy Officer Toolkit Workshop?
The Privacy Officer Toolkit Workshop is Simply Privacy’s own training programme for new Privacy Officers. A shorter course than the CIPM (6 hours across two days), it provides a baseline introduction to the role of the Privacy Officer in the NZ context for people who are new to that role. It is suitable for all sizes and types of organisations.
The CIPM on the other hand focuses more on developing and implementing a privacy programme within an organisation that will enable and support privacy compliance with NZ and overseas privacy laws, and is more relevant for privacy professionals who have some privacy experience and who are working in organisations that are larger and/or have a higher privacy risk. The CIPM also offers the opportunity to gain a globally recognised privacy credential.
