Anyone on here get a Certified Information Privacy Professional certification? I recently saw a job post listing it as a preferred qualification and I’m wondering if it’s worth it. I’d appreciate any feedback on the test as well!

I have a cipp/us, it requires a pretty basic knowledge in most us privacy laws in various sectors. I work in employment law so I don’t use it much, but I’m hoping to move to a more privacy focused law position in the next few years. The cipp/European law may be more beneficial if you want to work in larger companies that have to comply with the gdpr
The exam was pretty straightforward (though I had taken a privacy law class in law school) the IAPP distributes a booklet that provides an overview of all the different laws that will be on the test - I reviewed it for a few nights before the exam

A friend just did the European version which I supposedly more difficult than the US version

Following. I’d love to know if it’s worth taking more than one, or if something more difficult like the CIPP/e would be sufficient.

Never mind, checked their website and figured it out since they have FIP for those with a CIPP plus a CIPM.
I have a CIPP/US - it provided a pretty good background in US privacy law and recruiters certainly love to see it on your LinkedIn profile and resume. However it won’t be a replacement for working somewhere that gives you a good deal of day-to-day privacy work to further sharpen your skills. That’s honestly been the issue with me which is why I’ve shifted practice areas.
Thanks! I already have some privacy experience so I think this might be a good certification to get if I want to continue in that area!
Highly recommend because it signals minimal competency in privacy, clients seem to like it (a lot of mine are certified as well), and the IAPP generally has been an amazing resource.
