This course helped me to put everything that I know
about data protection into perspective.

The most comprehensive and hands-on course delivered in the
most interactive manner. It has opened my eyes on how this is
and will be relevant all the way through. Celine and Kevin have
delivered this training seamlessly – it’s easy to understand and engaging.

Instructor was able to structure the body of knowledge in a manner that’s
easier to follow & understand, as well as able to frame Privacy Management
(and all jobs to be done) in an applicable & actionable manner.

Excellent pacing of course delivery. I like the way the trainer has
taken the effort to enhance our understanding of new topics.

Instructor made the course interactive and fun eventhough
there's tons of information to digest.

Content was easy to understand and arranged systematically. Very
relevant for persons seeking to implement a practical framework.
Able to deliver content in a very interesting manner. Made it fun
and gave a lot of practical uses/knowledge to help us better
understand the topic.

It was an excellent experience for online training. More than what I expected.
Kudos to Straits! This course is very relevant as I'm preparing for CIPM certification.

This is the first time I am attending a course like this, so I have
no standard to compare with, I can only say it is more than I expect
and overall it is good. I do think the instructors are experts in what
they teach. What I like best is the summary of all that went on in the
class and all on one two sided page and it helps a great deal in terms
of studies and exam.

This is definitely a mind boggling workshop that very quickly took me
into the deeper world of data protection/ privacy. This course has also
helped me understand and dive deeper into the context of PDPA and GDPR
and its application where relevant, both practically and operationally.

The online training was good. Convenient and comfy to attend class at home.
The online workshop allows me to interact with international participants.
We get to learn about different backgrounds and cultures.

In the online training, Celine is very clear in her explanation and uses a lot of
real scenarios to help us understand the various concepts and framework.
She even comes out with a mind map to help the participants in exam
preparation. The course is very relevant especially the trainers used local and
overseas examples to illustrate various concepts. Thanks so much for the tips
in exam preparation. They are definitely very very useful.

My first time having online training, glad that is still great. Having a basic
foundation of PDPA helped me to understand the CIPM course. The instructors
were clear and concise and gave us scenarios to help us understand.

Excellent content. Easy to understand as it’s very organized.

Great information to prepare the role as a DPO.

Workshop content is very comprehensive and Celine provides added value with
her knowledge in technical aspect of information security and protection.

Good, Comprehensive and worth it. Thanks for all the efforts you guys put in
delivering this course and preparing me with all the information I need.
Thanks again.

Very well done. I really appreciate the trainers' efforts. Instructors have great
knowledge in exam and real world knowledge.

Very comprehensive and with practical examples that I can relate
as a Data Privacy Practitioner.

The CIPM course is very logically structured. I can imagine the concepts
in real world implementation. It is very relevant to my role as a Compliance
Officer for Privacy and the career path I intend to take.

The training course is very comprehensive. It provides adequate aids for
memorizing and recalling extensive amounts of information. The actual cases
and examples help to comprehend the textbook principles.

The CIPM course is very concise and informative. Highly relevant to our organisation
operation privacy compliance. Highly recommended to people interested in privacy
management certification

Workshop is very comprehensive and is combined with real life experiences
of Kevin which provides a holistic view and approach on Data Privacy Management.
It is very relevant to anyone wanting to enhance knowledge on data privacy.

The course is a great to tool to guide/equip DPOs in their journey to building
privacy culture in the organisation.

I have attended several trainings, this CIPM workshop presided by Kevin
is the most impressive I've had in terms of knowledge I gained
on a particular discipline.

Using scenarios for discussion is a good way to reinforce what we have learnt.

The workshop is important to reinforce the underlying principles learnt over
the duration of the course, which will help me tremendously when I apply them
into real-life situations.

The training is very relevant and information-filled. The workshop gives a
step by step guide. I learned the steps that I need to do for my organization's
data privacy program. Given the rise of data privacy awareness in people
and organization, this workshop is a must have for all.

It’s applicable because it forms up a very good picture for me. I have been
in banking for many years and exposed to many parts of it but with this class,
I really see the connector.

The certification will actually help us to come up with new solutions that we
can provide to the customers. And secondly it will also build credibility so that
when a customer talks to us, at least we can tell them that we are certified to do this.

Very complete and informative. The case studies really help.

Content was well presented in terms of not only clarity but how the different
parts of the content are interconnected & the interlinks for a good overall flow!!
The case studies on the 3rd day were most useful to crystallise the principles but
also to show how practical & relevant. Presenters were very knowledgeable and
also very hands-on with their direct experience.
They show expertise in their substance.

Instructor is very well-versed in delivering the training; made the training
very interesting and fun. Provided many useful notes.

Relevant, precise and straight to the core for both theory and practical parts
including role plays & group discussions involved. It was very fun and the
trainers were friendly, proactive and engaging with the participants.

The workshop content is very relevant and comprehensive in applications.

Very enriching. It covers both theory & practical applications,

Very well done. I really appreciate the trainers' efforts. They had great knowledge
in exam and real world knowledge. Keep up the good job.

Very clear teaching and loved that it was more then just learning to pass a test!

Very well organised and structured, classified into manageable portions.

Noted that a lot of thought and effort has been put to develop the content
and training materials. Trainer delivered the content with a lot of passion
supported by knowledge in the field of Data Privacy & Protection.

A very comprehensive training that was well coordinated and planned.
I learnt there is a need to have a data privacy framework, baseline
and metrics as well as audit/monitoring to show progress.

It was a wonderful 3-day training with a wealth of information provided in
preparation for the certification exam. It is also good that we have been
provided a mind map to prepare for the exam. That will definitely help me
prepare for it. What I have learnt - CUDS-GAPSR.
These provide already a general context of CIPM. Everything else is details.

I enjoy online session more than in class session because the course is 3 days long.
Online session allows me to do occasional stretching in the privacy of my home.
I learnt that there are a lot of methods and process to develop privacy management
programme, the acronym given helps a lot.

It was well planned and content was easy to understand.
CIPM focuses on application of privacy into organisations and
it is very different from other courses which taught about the
theories and the obligations. It allows us to learn how to communicate
to higher management in a language they understand.

It was fulfilling and a fun learning experience. Very worth it to have enrolled
to this course and invest. I love how much knowledge I have obtained in this
workshop even if I'm on an online setting. Very relevant especially to my situation
as a Compliance Officer for Privacy (COP) in which I could help our DPO to
implement and test the efficiency of our Privacy Program deployed in
the organization.

Very informative and very well presented with constant reference to key concepts.

Attending the online CIPM training during this crisis is truly a breather.
While fully delivered online, the training was interactive. I appreciate the most.
Kevin's effort to engage everyone to participate in the discussions.
Also, the sharing of thoughts among attendees adds value to the course.

I perused several companies who provide similar workshops. After the
course, I am convinced that I have correctly chosen to enroll with Straits.
The team seems cohesive and works well together in providing the
well-organized and structured workshop. One can tell the effort that
went into the course. Every member of the team from the instructors
to the guest speakers provided valuable inputs. Waimun was also responsive
to my inquiries prior to enrolling in the course which was appreciated.

I thought the program was well conducted. Very engaging with real-life cases.

Very experienced and qualified resource persons. I learnt how I should
operationalize privacy and that it is beyond legal compliance.

I felt that the online experience was very good. Almost at good as face to face class.
What was good was the ability to poll feedback and get answers to questions.
The online breakout sessions as well as discussion were also useful.

Very good experience. The course was conducted in a very interactive manner
which allowed participants to stay focused and follow the training even if
thousands of kilometres away from the trainer. I now have a better
understanding on the Data Privacy Framework, mostly the Governance part
which is well structured under CIPM. The topics discussed were totally
relevant with the body of knowledge and enables better understanding
on expectations for the exams.

I have gained very practical and comprehensive knowledge on how to create
a data privacy program for my organisation. Participation and interactions by
the classmates also help to bring the subject matter alive
and not just purely on theory.

Fantastic online experience. Very enriching and in depth lively discussion.
One thing I learnt was the GDPR impact. The course was well run and nicely spaced out.
Trainers were very knowledgeable and fantastic in presentation

It was great. The trainers are very knowledgeable and very accommodating.
Considering that I used to lead privacy compliance projects before and am now
occupying the position of a DPO, the insights they've shared will be very valuable
in my own work. I liked the very practical approach to the course.
It doesn't just prepare you for the exam. It also provides you with practical
guidance on how to apply what you've learned to your own organization.

The training offered many real-life scenarios and invited participants to share
from their varied backgrounds (e.g. information security, legal, compliance etc).
I found it very useful and practical for my learning.

Workshop is highly engaging. Trainers are knowledgeable and
participants are enthusiastic.

The course, delivery and speakers are great. As a consultant,
this course has taught me to structure the implementation
and management of Data Privacy Program.

As an employee involved in an industry handling various
personal data, the workshop has made PRIVACY and SECURITY easier
to understand in every angle.
