How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer iCan Qualifications Limited has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and iCan Qualifications Limited awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from iCan Qualifications Limited.
The purpose of this qualification is to enable learners to demonstrate understanding of data security and protection. The qualification will help learners progress to a work role where data protection and data security knowledge is required.
These are the units iCan Qualifications Limited registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with iCan Qualifications Limited. It does the teaching and the mapping. iCan Qualifications Limited sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

See the whole journeyThe credits, and who awards them
Level 2 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by iCan Qualifications Limited rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.
How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Practical Builder · your make-it-real tutor Illustration - Draft the real one Create
You do “Principles of organisational data procedures” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
- Map a live decision Analyse
“Understand the consequences of not protecting data” runs on a decision you are facing now. Zavmo maps it with you and shows what the second-order effect looks like before you find out the slow way.
