DPD Certificate renewal
The Data Protection Officer certification is valid for 3 years from the date of issuance of the certificate.
The renewal of the certificate must be requested prior to the expiration date indicated on the certificate.
Important
Once the certificate is no longer valid, it will not be possible to request its renewal
And the certification process must start from scratch, i.e., complete the initial certification application and take the DPD certification exam in accordance with the AEPD-DPD Scheme.
lease note that the renewal request requires the evaluation by the CB of compliance with the requirements of the AEPD-DPD Scheme, therefore, we recommend that, if possible, you send us the request at least one month in advance of the expiration date shown on the certificate.

In the event that it is not possible to justify the minimum annual training required, it is permitted to complete the training in one of the other two remaining years provided that the total of 60 hours of training is reached.
The training provided is valued at twice the number of hours than the training received.

- Number of hours of the course

- Format (classroom or online)
*If you have given one or more training courses, you must provide a certificate stating the identification of the certified DPO as a teacher, the number of hours of the course and the subject matter of the course.
