How to prepare

Privacy certification is an important career effort that requires advance preparation. Choosing how you will prepare for your privacy certification exams is a personal choice that should include an assessment of your professional background, scope of privacy knowledge and your preferred method of learning. In general, the IAPP recommends that candidates plan for a minimum of 30 hours of study time in advance of your exam date; however, you might need more or fewer hours depending on your personal choices and professional experience.
