After the announcement of the next Virtual training program for C.DPO.DA. by Naavi/FDPPI from 20th December 2025, a query was received from a well known professional on
“Why anybody should chose to take this course when other courses which are also called “CDPO” are available at a lesser cost”.
Well it is good that options are available and it is the prerogative of any person to chose any option based on the cost or any other factor.
We can only say that a course should be evaluated on the basis of
- Who is the faculty?
- What is the coverage?..Is it India oriented?
- What is the mode of delivery? …Virtual or Physical?
- What is the content presentation mode…lecture, discussions, case studies.. etc
- Whether there would be an evidence of going through the course?..by way of participation certificate?
- Whether there would be an evidence of absorbing the contents of the course?..by way of a certificate after evaluation?
- Whether the certificate is issued from an organization of repute?
- Whether the organization issuing the certificate has a pedigree in the respective domain?
- What kind of support reading material would be available?
- Is there a CPE credit available?
- Any other benefits?
- Cost
If possible you can give 1-10 for each of the above parameters add weightage to the different parameters and arrive at a net score and then compare it with the cost.
It is better if some of the participants themselves make such an evaluation and give us a feedback.
Enclosed is a feedback sheet that you can use to evaluate a course.
