📌 i got my data protection law certificate!
On the 30th of October, I officially finished my data protection law certificate! I'm a bit late to post this because I was so busy and still needed to wait for the actual paper to arrive plus getting a frame and all. :)
The certificate ('Diploma of Advanced Studies') is intended for 3 semesters in part-time. I finished it up in one semester with a grade average of 2,21 while continuing my other part-time degree (a Bachelor of Laws, LL.B) and full-time work.
It is quite a bit more intensive than the 2-week crash courses to be a data protection officer and I had to write 6 exams in total, but it enables me to be one plus the permission to call myself a certified consultant for data protection law. I'll have to refresh it every 4 years with a refresher course, or lose it.
While I love to write about commercial tech and social media through a privacy lens here and burn for that topic in private, I intend my career/professional focus to be about health data and AI. I already work with pharmaceutical databases in my job, and I wouldn't wanna miss that part of my work day.

My first of hopefully many pieces of paper on that wall2. Would love to do AIGP, CIPP/E, CIPM and ISO27001 Lead Implementer some time, and obviously finish my Bachelor degree and start a Master's in data protection law. This cert consisted of the first 3 modules of that Master's degree already, so I know what's ahead of me and I know I can do it. :)
Now I'm off to another MRI, because my body is being difficult. I hope to post more soon <3
