Built for practitioners, not students

Every module is structured around what you need to do, not just what you need to know. If you work on data protection compliance at an organisation operating in Africa this course was built for you.

In-House Counsel

Legal teams at pan-African companies who need to understand obligations across multiple jurisdictions without reading 44 statutes.

Compliance Officers

Compliance professionals building or reviewing data protection programmes for organisations with African operations.

Privacy Practitioners

DPOs and privacy professionals who trained on GDPR and need to understand how the African landscape differs and where it converges.

Legal Practitioners

Lawyers advising clients on African data protection matters who need reliable, structured reference content across jurisdictions.

18 modules. Concept-first. Africa throughout.

Each module is 10-14 minutes of video, backed by lesson notes with real enforcement case studies, jurisdiction comparison tables, practical scenarios, and a quiz. Every module links to the Africa Data Protection Navigator for live jurisdiction lookups.
