The Government Data Protection Officer (GDPO) training programme is a collaboration between the Digital Government Development Agency (DGA), the Office of the Personal Data Protection Committee, and the Thailand Professional Qualification Institute. The programme equips data protection officers (DPOs) with the knowledge and skills to carry out their statutory duties.

The course covers the role and responsibilities of a DPO and how to apply that knowledge on the job. Participants study Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019), particularly the provisions relevant to their work, and prepare to apply related information security and information technology practices. Topics include privacy and data protection principles, data protection roles and responsibilities, and relevant personal data protection standards.
