POPIA Training

Protection of Personal Information Act

Essential training for people who handle personal information.

POPIA eLearning for assigned groups. If you regularly access personal information or deal with individuals, these courses support lawful processing and day-to-day compliance.

How to get in What we cover

Access

Use the exact path you were given. Bookmarks to a group site still work. If you do not have a path, do not guess one. Ask your information officer, or write to us and we will point you to the right place.
