Privacy training for staff who aren't computer workers

We've created a PDF file of our Privacy ABC e-learning module for workers who want to learn about privacy but who don't have easy access to computers. You can share this as group training, email it once for them to download and review at their own pace, or print it out and share.

Sharing access to our courses with your employees

If you're an employer, there are two main ways you can share access to our online privacy courses within your organisation. We can also set up reporting functionality, so you can see who within your organisation has completed our courses.

  1. You can direct people to http://elearning.privacy.org.nz. Users will be taken to our e-learning website where they can sign up for an account using their email address. They will be able to access all 12 of our online privacy courses. You're welcome to add this link to your website to make it easy for people to find.

    If you choose this option and would like reporting functionality, email us and we can set up a reporting group for your organisation. Once a reporting group is set up and your employees opt in to sharing their data, you'll be able to see course completion statistics for everyone in your organisation.

  2. If you use a Learning Management System (LMS), we can embed our modules directly into your website using Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI). When LTI is set up, your employees will be able to access our privacy courses directly without having to leave your system. You'll also be able to see completion statistics for the courses you've set up in your system. Email us to set up an LTI connection.
