How much does Data Protection & GDPR training cost?
£4 per person on Care2Learn, with no minimum order and no subscription. If your team needs a full training matrix rather than one course, a subscription at £2 per learner per month covers all 28 courses — see the 2026 price comparison.
Who needs it
Anyone delivering hands-on care in a CQC-regulated service, as part of their mandatory training. Completion is recorded with the date taken and the date it is next due, so it appears correctly on your training matrix and can be evidenced at inspection.
What your carer receives
A certificate in their own name showing the completion date and renewal date, downloadable at any time. The record belongs to the carer, not just the employer.
