ASSESSMENT & PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

Knowledge matters.
So does judgement.

IDPI is developing distinct assessment pathways for foundational privacy governance and practical implementation capability. Explore the proposed CPGA and CPIP approaches.

Proposed arrangements. Examination format, question count, duration, pass criteria, fees and dates are not finalised.

CPGA · PROPOSED PATHWAY

Learning and certification
have distinct roles.

Completing training can support preparation. It does not automatically result in a professional credential.

  1. 01

    Build your foundation

    Prepare against the published syllabus when available. Use learning activities to connect terminology, responsibilities and organisational context.

  2. 02

    Demonstrate knowledge & judgement

    The proposed assessment considers foundational knowledge and decisions in privacy governance scenarios. Final examination specifications remain under development.

  3. 03

    A separate certification decision

    Award of CPGA will depend on meeting the final published assessment and credential requirements, independently of course attendance.

CPIP · PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT

Demonstrate the work.
Explain the decisions.

01

Scenario-based examinations

Apply privacy knowledge and judgement to realistic organisational situations. Format and pass criteria remain unfinalised.

02

Practical implementation project

Develop a response to a defined implementation problem and organise supporting evidence.

03

Short project discussion

Explain your approach, assumptions and implementation choices. Final project and discussion arrangements will be published before applications open.

INTENDED ASSESSMENT PRINCIPLES

Fairness built into the framework.

The following are planned arrangements. IDPI intends to publish the applicable policies before applications open.

Impartial decisions

Distinct training and certification decision responsibilities, with conflict-of-interest management.

Assessment integrity

Clear expectations for candidate conduct, authentic work and handling of assessment concerns.

Access & reasonable adjustments

A process for considering accessibility needs while maintaining the competencies being assessed.

Review & fair appeals

Published routes to raise concerns and seek review of relevant assessment or award decisions.

AFTER THE CREDENTIAL

Professional learning
continues.

Ethics, continuing professional development and renewal arrangements are being developed. No specific renewal cycle, credit requirement or renewal fee has been announced.

Neither CPGA nor CPIP authorises legal practice, certifies an organisation’s compliance or automatically qualifies someone as an independent auditor. Neither credential guarantees employment.
