Helped me pass the CIPP/E exam by distilling the most important concepts in a vastly accelerated timeframe. Passed first attempt - highly recommend!

I like the structure but I failed my exam by 2 questions. I am retaking it in a week and it helped me to score high in 4 of the six categories from the CIPP/M body of knowledge. I would like to pr... See more

The content is good however, it would be helpful if the content followed the layout of the IAPP CIPP/U book. I'm using both as study materials. Listening to the audio then reading the material then... See more

What I really enjoyed about this bootcamp was that it made the learning material easier to digest (e.g. with flashcards & chapter questions you could go back to). Not to say that other IAPP resources... See more

Brilliant Platform

Wonderful experience. Such an easy platform to use, informative content and all structured in a way that made the learning easy. CIPP/e taken and passed. Now on to the CIPM with the Privacy Bootcamp. Would highly recommend potential students to jump right in and use the Privacy Bootcamp.

Thorough but could use more quizzes

The information is thorough and easy to understand. However, I think occasional videos or more interactive quizzes would be beneficial to retain the information. Also, if there was a way to listen to the information, that would be extremely helpful as well.

Hi Kate - Thank you for the kind words, and we appreciate the feedback. We model our practice tests and quizzes off of the same format used by the IAPP on the actual exam. We are also in the process of making full text-to-speech available as a product feature. We hope you enjoy that feature when you study for your next IAPP certification exam!

So far so good

This product has been excellent so far, even though I haven't taken the CIPP US exam yet. The material is presented clearly and concisely, broken down into manageable sections. I appreciate the numerous opportunities for reinforcement, including the short exercises after each section, flashcards, quizzes, and tests. The instructor support is outstanding. They've been incredibly helpful and responsive whenever I've emailed them with questions. This program has definitely boosted my confidence going into the exam. I'll update my review after I've taken it. Thank you!

Too much reading

Too much reading. Offer a version without footnotes so we can have the browser read it.

Hi Jason - Yes, unfortunately IAPP certifications cover a lot of ground, and that requires a fair amount of reading. We appreciate the feedback. The good news is that we already have in the works full audio transcriptions of all of our courses, which we hope to roll out in the coming months.

CIPP/US - Passed!

I used Privacy Bootcamp after researching what people did to pass the CIPP/US exam. There were multiple individuals that mentioned using Privacy Bootcamp and I agree. It was helpful having different practice exams and the material that was structured in a way that was not too dry and informative. I primarily used Privacy Bootcamp in studying for the CIPP/US exam and I passed!

Passed the CIPPE exam with ease because of this course. The only downside is that practice exams aren’t like real thing, and the latest exam updates were captured very well.

Great prep for the CIPP/E and CIPT alike!

I used Privacy Bootcamp to prepare for (and pass!) both the CIPP/E and CIPT exams, and was delighted with my experience.

In my case, I found it helpful to:

1. Read a little bit of the official IAPP textbook

2. Read the corresponding (well-organized) summaries on Privacy Bootcamp

3. Test my comprehension of the material using Privacy Bootcamp's flashcards, knowledge reviews, and practice exam generator

4. Lather, rinse, repeat

Some stray thoughts:

1. Privacy Bootcamp is exceptionally proactive with updating their material to accommodate upcoming changes to the Body of Knowledge. I took my CIPP/E exam shortly after this year's Body of Knowledge updates, and felt that Privacy Bootcamp's hot-off-the-press updates prepared me well for the 1-2 questions I received on "new" material.

2. A word of caution about the practice exam generator: if you leverage that tool as much I did, you will likely see repeat questions. I found it helpful to "space out" my use of the practice exam generator, so as to avoid (accidental) rote memorization of the questions.

3. Idea for future work: it could be handy to allow users to create their own flashcards.

CIPP/E bootcamp

I participated in the CIPP/E bootcamp - easy to follow structure, comprehensive context information, knowledge reviews, outlining the most important facts and information in cheat sheets. Together with the GDPR legal text it was for me the perfect basis to get prepared for the certification. I passed on the first attempt. Without the bootcamp, this would not have been achievable.

In depth coverage for CIPP Canada

It would be good if the modules can be heard and not just read.

Efficient, Focused, and Ready for Certification

The CIPM bootcamp has been fantastic! It provides concise and accurate information, making it an ideal way to learn and prepare for the exam. It’s the most cost and time-efficient path to certification. I’m now looking forward to the AIGP training program!

CIPP/US


Certainly! Here’s a more polished, CEO-style version of your message:

Subject: Endorsement of Privacy Bootcamp Course

As someone with a background in hospitality, I’m transitioning my skills into the privacy sector, and I’ve found the Privacy Bootcamp course to be exceptional. The lifetime access is particularly valuable, allowing me to study at my own pace, which is essential as I manage my dyslexia. Having the flexibility to learn on my own time makes the experience even more tailored to my needs.

One thing I’ve learned from preparing for the CIPP exam is that it truly requires dedication and self-motivation. It’s a challenge, but one that is rewarding for those committed to pushing themselves.

Best,
Erol Birsen
