Westcon-Comstor (Westcon), the leading value-added global distributor of security, unified communications, network infrastructure and data centre solutions, has responded to channel demand by increasing capacity for GDPR related training. The Westcon-Comstor Academy delivers high-level, and IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals) certified GDPR training for channel partners and their customers, providing guidance and information for business owners and executives, and those tasked with data protection responsibilities.
John Richardson, Westcon Marketing Director, commented:
“We have seen a major increase in demand for specific, detailed GDPR related training, over the past month or so. Our most recent Beyond GDPR seminar was ‘standing room only’ as partners sought more comprehensive and implementation based knowledge. In response, we have added additional courses and resources to the Westcon Academy schedule to cater for all needs so more partners can help their customers along the road to compliance.”
The Westcon-Comstor Academy training covers all GDPR related needs from an overview of the scope and practical aspects of the regulation for executives to IAPP certified training for Data Protection Officers and those with specific privacy and data protection responsibilities. The IAPP certifications provide Certified Information Privacy (CIP) Professional/Europe, CIP Manager and CIP Technologist credentials.
