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

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 provide an update that I went back 14 days later and retested and passed. I truly believe that the format is crucial to success in passing these certifications.

Hi Tiffany - We're sorry to hear that you did not pass your CIPM exam. But keep your head up! IAPP exams are difficult, with a pass rate on par with many state bar exams. We're sure that you will pass when you retake it next week!

I used Privacy Bootcamp as my CIPP/US

I used Privacy Bootcamp as my main preparation resource for the CIPP/US exam and passed on my first attempt. The course structure, notes, and practice questions were all very practical and aligned with the actual exam experience.

What I found most helpful was how the content is broken down into clear, digestible modules that follow the IAPP Body of Knowledge. The explanations are concise but still give you enough context to really understand the concepts, not just memorize them. The practice questions and explanations were especially useful for training my “exam thinking” and spotting common traps.

I’ve recommended Privacy Bootcamp to colleagues and contacts who are preparing for privacy certifications and will continue to do so. It’s a very efficient and effective way to prepare, especially if you’re working full-time and need a structured path to follow.

I’m now planning to use Privacy Bootcamp again for the AIGP certification, which probably tells you how satisfied I was with the CIPP/US course.

Makes CIPP/E studying manageable

This is my second course with Privacy Bootcamp, and the quality has been consistent across both.

What I like most is how the CIPP/E material is broken down into very digestible chunks. It makes it much easier to study in short, focused sessions instead of feeling overwhelmed. The content is clearly up to date with the latest IAPP BoK, which was important to me.

The reinforcement tools really help as well. The end-of-section review cards, flashcards, and cheat sheets are practical and actually useful for recall, especially when revisiting topics later. The customizable practice exams by section are a great feature, and having two full-length exams gives a good sense of exam readiness.

I also appreciated the flexibility of the team. I missed the Black Friday discount period by a few days, and they still accommodated me, which I didn’t expect.

Overall, a solid, well-structured course that’s clearly designed with real learners in mind. Highly Recommended for those who want to pass the exam on first try.

Exactly what you need and nothing more

This training is particularly helpful for those who have been working on privacy for a while and need only the exam-relevant questions and facts with no superfluous information or musings. This was more efficient for me than the official IAPP book which had a lot of repetition. I would still recommend taking the IAPP's test exam in addition to the test exams on Privacy Bootcamp.

The program is thorough

The program is thorough! The overviews and quick notes were quite helpful. The test could be a bit more aligned with the IAPP test, however despite not being spot on, they were still helpful. I PASSED!!!

Fantastic Courses for Success

Privacy Bootcamp was the absolute foundation of my studying for both the CIPP/E and CIPP/US exams, and I can't recommend it highly enough. The course materials are written in a very digestible format, immediately synthesizing key concepts you need to take away from each section as you build your knowledge base. This focused approach means no time is wasted on unnecessary fluff or organization. The hundreds of questions are perfectly designed to reinforce the key facts, rules, and application you see on test day, complete with thorough explanations. This rigorous practice paired with the clarity on core material meant I was ultra confident going into test day and successfully passed both exams.

The content is good however

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 taking the test. It's been tough to match them up.

Hi Beth - We're sorry to hear that you are having a 3-star experience, but we appreciate that you think our content is good.

As with all of our courses, we do our best to have the structure track the Body of Knowledge for each exam, with some limited exceptions where we believe doing so will better help explain a topic or concept. This is the reason that our CIPP/US course does not track the IAPP's self-published book; the IAPP book itself does not properly track the Body of Knowledge. While we do not discourage our students from referring to outside resources, we design all of our courses to be comprehensive, one-stop training. Unlike some other study aides out there, our courses are not designed to be used as a supplement to other resources. We hope that helps explain why trying to match our course with another book may not be a seamless experience for you. If you have other feedback that can help us improve our users' experience, we'd love to hear it. We can be reached directly at hello@privacybootcamp.com.

Privacy Bootcamp is a good course provider and reasonable cost-wise too!

I chose to do the CIPP E course with Privacy Bootcamp because it has good reviews and is reasonable cost-wise too. The material is easy to understand especially for people, like me, who have limited knowledge of the subject beforehand. The summary at the bottom of each page and the flash cards are particularly handy, as well as the practice exams. I would definitely recommend Privacy Bootcamp to anyone looking to study for the CIPP E exam.

We understand the disappointment that can happen when you don’t pass your exam. But keep your head up – IAPP exams are hard! In fact, they have only ~70% pass rate across all test-takers. You will get it on your next attempt.
