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

Great material

Great material. Recommened for anyone wanting to pursue the CIPP/US.

Plenty of material. Useful flash cards and cheatsheet.

All you need to succeed

I am more than happy with the bootcamp, as it has strongly contributed in my preparation towards CIPP/e. I am happy to report that some of the actual exam questions were in fact identical with the ones in the Bootcamp' s Exam HQ.

I passed CIPP/US with Privacy Bootcamp's program

I used Privacy Bootcamp's program to study for the CIPP/US exam, and I wholeheartedly recommend them. This was the primary source of materials I used, and I passed with flying colors. The modules are up-to-date, easy to read, and closely track the Body of Knowledge. One of the standout features for me was the ability to generate multiple practice tests, which I used extensively during my last week of study. These tests were on par with the actual exam, providing invaluable preparation. I'll definitely be using their program to study for my next CIPP exam!

Great course and support received

The support I have received from Privacy Bootcamp staff was timely and helpful. I was able to pass my CIPM after completing the course, running through all the flashcards provided and doing multiple mock tests after. The test questions are quite close to the actual exam questions.

For those who are contemplating this course, I highly recommend it.

Extremely Helpful. And I Passed.

Overall, it was helpful and worth what I paid. The most important thing it did for me was give me structure and understanding of the amount of information that was tested on and let me pace myself as needed. Some areas I thought could better help me learn the information was the format. I thought it would have been better to split up the 2nd section that had the bulk of the testing material in it. I also thought that providing hypotheticals or examples of some of the concepts would have made it easier to learn. I found myself doing research on the side trying to understand quite a few concepts, eg what such and such enforcement action actually looks like. There were also times where British terms seemed to be used, like i think "enquire" was used which I've only ever seen "inquire" in my 40 years of life. Other random specific feedback: "Covered entity" was used in some questioning where it didn't state covered under which statute. Also, there were times where I wasn't sure what was meant by the term "administrative" like DC court of appeals deals with administrative rulemakings.

Too much information - not helpful for the CIPP-US exam

This class is very thorough which is not what I expected or wanted. I wanted a class targeted towards passing the exam. I did not want extra information since its quite a bit we need to know already. I wanted a class that is giving me exactly the right amount of info and maybe even some help in regards to passing the exam (what type of question requires what kind of answer stuff.) This class is not that. I also did not appreciate the fact that is just page after page of "dry" information that you have to take in staring at a screen. There are no videos and very few interactive tools. The exam HQ is nice and helpful and the class is great information about privacy in general but it did not help me to pass the test.

Hi EB - Thank you for your feedback. Our courses follow the Body of Knowledge released by the IAPP. We agree it's a lot of information that IAPP requires you to know. Complicating that is some IAPP questions ask about seemingly irrelevant minutiae on a given law or regulation. We do our best to strike the right balance between being comprehensive, without being exhaustive. We include a "quick reference cheat sheets" in our courses in an attempt to distill the more detailed discussions into the most important points.

We are sorry to hear that you did not pass your exam. As stated in our terms and conditions, anyone that completes a course in its entirety prior to their actual exam and for some reason does not pass the exam on test day is entitled to a refund. If you qualify, you can request a refund at Hello@privacybootcamp.com.

Stellar Program

I used Privacy Bootcamp to prepare for CIPP/US and CIPM and passed both exams on the first try. Going in, my intention was to treat this as supplemental study material but it ended up being my primary resource for both exams. Each course was very thorough, covering the body of knowledge topics in a digestible format and generally presenting the material more clearly than the official IAPP textbooks (which I found dense). The practice questions and flashcards were also a huge benefit. The course is well organized and there are knowledge reviews and summaries throughout that keep you on track. This is not a shortcut to mastering the tested material – there really aren’t any shortcuts – it’s more like a deep dive presented in a coherent, logical and methodical way. I definitely recommend Privacy Bootcamp for your IAPP exam prep.

Amazing Program

Great study program for the privacy certificartions! I took the CIPP/E BootCamp and it was spot on for the test. Its material seemed to match the test better than some of the other study material out there. I had a couple of other books but to be honest, this was the course that really helped med and I would have been fine with just this program and no other material. I specifically think the review sessions and flashcards helped to solidify the knowledge.

I have passed the CIPM

I have passed the CIPP/US, CIPP/E and the CIPM all because of privacybootcamp. This is my second review but my feelings haven't changed. I would recommend these courses to anyone that wants to pass an IAPP exam.

This course stands as an exceptional…

This course stands as an exceptional choice for IAPP exam preparation, offering unparalleled value at a fraction of the cost compared to other providers who market themselves as Privacy Professionals and charge upwards of $3,000. The sole area for improvement is its absence of audio or video resources. Incorporating these elements could elevate the material to truly outstanding levels
