No problemo makes the 5 pm kerching approach faster......

GDPR is well known what it is as it's mostly an extension of UK DPA rules harmonised for use all over the EU, with some additions and bigger fines.

Do you at all work with any client/personal data of any sort?
Still if it is either take it or leave. take it.

Quote them two grand per day to deliver the training. Nick some slides off the interweb. Job's a good 'un.

No matter how much end training IBs give their workers, temporary, contract, or permanent, their morals still seem to be in the gutter.
Personally I just do the training - 2 days when I started then around an hour a month.

Just a thought.

Its THEIR responsibility that those handling THEIR customer's data are competent to do so. So THEY are organising mandatory training for such people regardless of employment status.
You of course have your own policies for YOUR customer's data.
Take a day off at training & enjoy the biscuits.
just my take.

Yup, I look at these types of client requirements as compliance checks for handling the client's sensitive data and systems.
My current client removes access to all systems unless pass compliance and they re-check it every year or so and anyone failing compliance is reported to a director for a . As a contractor I expect that means termination of contract.

You are handling their data. Nothing wrong with giving you basic competency training to make sure it's safe.

My end client has recently requested everyone does the GDPR training course. They've included contractors in this.
Now, I don't think that, as an independent contractor working via my own Ltd, it is necessary to take part in this because MyCo has it's own GDPR policy.
Other contractors here must have come across this by now so I was curious about the general opinion on this before I talk to the client.
If you've been in this situation, have you just done it for a quiet life, or did you discuss with the client and not do it?
