Understand IDPI, its credentials and what is still being developed and how the proposed credentials fit within IDPI’s professional pathways.
What is IDPI?
About IDPI
The Institute of Data Privacy and AI Governance of India (IDPI) is an independent, vendor-neutral, not-for-profit initiative of Paryoma Foundation. Its role is to develop curricula, deliver education and conduct examinations and competency assessments for privacy and AI governance credentials.
How has the CPGA website changed?
About IDPI
This website now introduces IDPI and its broader education and assessment role. CPGA remains the foundational privacy governance pathway; CPIP focuses on implementation. Existing CPGA learning resources remain available.
Does IDPI offer an AI governance credential today?
AI governance
AI governance curricula and assessment pathways are being developed. No named AI governance credential, final syllabus, examination date or booking arrangement has been announced. CPGA and CPIP currently describe privacy-focused competencies.
What is CPGA?
About CPGA
Certified Privacy Governance Associate (CPGA) is a foundational privacy competency credential being developed by IDPI. It focuses on privacy principles, India's DPDP framework, organisational accountability and foundational implementation judgement.
Who is it intended for?
About CPGA
CPGA is intended for GRC, compliance, risk and internal audit professionals, legal operations and technology teams, and students or professionals exploring privacy responsibilities. These audiences do not constitute final eligibility criteria.
Can I enrol or book an examination now?
Programme status
No. CPGA is in development. Enrolment, examination dates and booking arrangements have not been announced. The enquiry page currently creates an unsent draft; it does not register or reserve a place.
Is CPGA a free certification?
Programme status
No. CPGA is planned as a paid foundational certification. Fees are not yet finalised. It is distinct from any separate free privacy awareness assessment.
What will the assessment involve?
Assessment
The proposed approach assesses foundational knowledge and judgement through privacy governance scenarios. The examination format, question count, duration and pass criteria are not finalised.
Does finishing a course automatically earn CPGA?
Assessment
No. Course completion records learning participation. Earning a professional credential requires meeting the separately published assessment and award requirements when they are finalised.
Are eligibility, renewal and continuing education requirements available?
Assessment
Not yet. Eligibility, continuing development and renewal arrangements are being developed. Confirmed requirements will be published before applications open.
How is CPGA different from CPIP?
Pathways
CPGA focuses on foundational privacy governance knowledge and scenario judgement. CPIP is the proposed advanced implementation credential focused on processes, controls and evidence. They serve different competency needs.
Must I earn CPGA before CPIP?
Pathways
CPGA is not currently a mandatory prerequisite for CPIP. Any future pathway or eligibility requirements will be published explicitly.
How will fairness and appeals be addressed?
Assessment
IDPI intends to publish arrangements for assessment integrity, conflicts of interest, reasonable adjustments and fair review and appeals before applications open. These are planned arrangements, not a claim that those processes are already operating.
Are the practice scenarios official examination questions?
Preparation
No. The preparation resources on this site are illustrative learning aids. They are not an official question bank, mock examination or prediction of examination performance.
Is CPIP open for enrolment?
About CPIP
No. CPIP is in development. IDPI has not opened enrolment or examination booking. The enquiry form prepares an unsent local draft; it does not register interest or reserve a place.
What is the proposed CPIP assessment?
About CPIP
The current proposal combines scenario-based examinations, a practical implementation project and a short discussion of that project. Final format, marking and award arrangements may change.
Are CPIP fees, dates and eligibility confirmed?
About CPIP
No. Fees, eligibility, examination dates, pass criteria, programme duration and renewal requirements have not been finalised. Confirmed arrangements will be published before applications open.
Does a course automatically award CPIP?
About CPIP
No. Course completion and professional certification are distinct. CPIP would require a separate assessment and credential decision under final published requirements.
Is CPIP a government licence or accredited qualification?
About CPIP
No government approval, statutory authority or accreditation is claimed. CPIP is a proposed individual competency credential; it does not authorise legal practice, certify organisational compliance or guarantee employment.
How will CPIP fairness and appeals work?
About CPIP
IDPI intends to publish impartiality, conflict-management, assessment, reasonable-adjustment and appeals arrangements before certification applications open. These arrangements are still being developed.
