Data Protection Training
Once we have confirmed your appointment as an External Examiner of a Taught Course or Research Candidate we ask that you complete Kent’s Data Protection training modules before you start reviewing students’ work or a thesis.
- You will need to activate your Kent IT account before accessing the Data Protection training modules.
- There are three modules and each will take around 20 minutes to complete.
- There is the option to bookmark your progress and to complete the training in stages.
- Please ensure that you click on every section.
- The training needs to be retaken every two years, so twice during a four-year Taught Course appointment or once if you are an External Examiner of a Research Candidate.
