How much does DPO certification cost in Zimbabwe and how long does it take?

Question

Accepted Answer

DPO certification in Zimbabwe costs USD 1,250 per person for Zimbabwean citizens and USD 1,450 for international candidates, fixed in the Second Schedule of SI 155 of 2024. The POTRAZ-approved course has typically run over about two weeks and ends in a formal examination of around four hours. The Second Schedule to SI 155 sets "DPO training and certification fees" at USD 1,250 per person for Zimbabwean citizens and USD 1,450 per person for international candidates. SI 155 requires the course to be "approved by the Authority". POTRAZ's 2025 Guidelines on DPO training and certification describe the framework; the first accredited programme at the Harare Institute of Technology ran over two weeks with a four-hour examination and a small application fee, leading to a Data Protection Certificate. Ask providers about format (block or modular), location, examination dates and re-sit policy before booking. Plan the DPO's absence from normal duties, and remember that continuous professional development is a further annual expectation under section 10 of SI 155.
