What the course covers
5 focused sections, each built on the Irish legal position rather than generic principles, then a randomised exam and your certificate.
Legal basis: CJA 2010–2021 record-keeping; GDPR Article 5(1)(e)
Records are evidence long after the work ends
Retention is a legal duty
AML records must be kept for five years. Deleting early is as much a failure as keeping everything forever.
Classification drives handling
Staff cannot protect information appropriately if they cannot tell which tier it belongs to.
Least privilege limits damage
Access that was convenient at the time is what turns one compromised account into a firm-wide incident.
Disposal is part of the lifecycle
Paper in a skip and drives in a bin are still your data. Secure disposal is the last control in the chain, and the one most often skipped.
How it is assessed
Every learner sits a randomised exam drawn from a larger question bank, so no two people see the same paper and sharing answers gets nobody anywhere.
- Questions rotate per learner from the bank
- Pass mark set for genuine competence
- Learners can pause and resume at any point
- Retakes available without starting the course again
What you can evidence
The certificate is the point. It is issued automatically on a pass and lands straight in your audit trail.
- Learner name, completion date and exam score
- Course outline and the exact version taken
- CPD hours, ready for a professional CPD log
- One-click audit export across your whole team
About 35 minutes, including the randomised exam. It runs in any browser with nothing to install, learners can pause and resume, and the certificate is issued the moment they pass.
Yes. The course carries CPD accreditation codes issued by the LIA and the IOB, and every certificate states the course outline, completion date, exam score and CPD hours, ready for a professional CPD log or the firm’s training file.
All staff. It is written for Irish regulated firms, to the Irish legal position.
CJA 2010–2021 record-keeping; GDPR Article 5(1)(e). The content is written to that legal position rather than to a generic international syllabus, and the certificate records the version taken.
Yes. Upload a list or share an invite link, track completions on the Harrington Hub dashboard, let automatic reminders chase the stragglers, and export every certificate and score in one click when an auditor or the regulator asks.
