POPI online course
The FPI-recognised POPI Online Course will prepare you to become POPI compliant by covering the following topics:
- Introduction to POPI
- Access to information
- Collection of information
- Using personal information
- Storage of information
- Compliance with POPI
After working through each module, you will complete an interactive quiz so you can continually assess your level of understanding as you progress through the course. Once you have worked through the course, you will receive a certificate confirming that training has been completed.
We estimate that the course should take two and a half hours to complete. You will, however, have access to the course for 30 days, and during this time you will be able to review and work through the content as many times as you like.
We have also added a POPI Compliance Checklist that you can download to check your POPI compliance progress.
