The home of purpose-driven Data Protection Strategies

The support from Tim and Purpose and Means in my preparation for the CIPT exam was great. The 4 half-days online course helped me to understand the complexity of some concepts where Tim provided a lot of additional material that made the theory more understandable. I enjoyed that all questions were answered, discussed and that we were given the opportunity to also go beyond the topics provided by the IAPP. Thanks again for the great training!

Tim delivered an exceptional CIPT training course remotely, combining core IAPP materials with plenty of practical case studies drawn from his considerable experience.  CIPT grapples with some complex constructs which Tim deconstructs and portrays visually and accessibly with his unique, illustrative materials. I really enjoyed the training and was more than adequately equipped for exam success.

Tim is a great instructor who combines strong knowledge of technology, business and privacy with exceptional communication skills explaining complex concepts in an engaging and accessible way. I experienced a safe and inclusive learning environment in the CIPT and CIPM classes I attended, where I felt comfortable asking questions and exploring real-world applications. By adding his practical experience he enriched and improved IAPP’s training material. Strong recommendation.

I am very glad that I registered with Purpose and Means for my CIPP/E course. The 4-day live lecture sessions with Tim and Komi were very helpful and informative which enabled me to thoroughly understand EU Data Protection. There were also some additional notes, references, and real-life examples for us to fully grasp the expectation as a CIPP/E certification holder. Kudos to the whole Purpose and Means team!

I participated in the CIPT course by Tim recently. He is great at explaining complicated and detailed subjects well and informatively, which makes it easy to follow. Although it is a lot of information to take in, it never gets dull, and it is very manageable to fully understand the topics as Tim brings relatable and relevant examples. The course is really valuable to me professionally, and helped me to be proficient in the subject.

Thank you so much Tim, and let me just say that I had a blast during your Privacy in Technology (CIPT) course. I find that it often becomes convenient to fall into a sort of complacent attitude when it comes to a field you work in. Courses like this are great to rekindle an existing interest by bringing in perspective and most of all, new people who appreciate the same topic. I really feel that I learned something and more importantly, got inspired to look for even more knowledge in the privacy space.

Tim's instruction has been instrumental in me certifying as an Information Privacy Manager (CIPM). Tim made the topic of Privacy Program Management very accessible and highly interesting. Using practical cases and inspiring discussion the topics came to life, and Tim succeeded in making the 4  half-days interactive, and kept the participants' attention throughout very mindful of avoiding video conferencing fatigue.

I attended Tim’s virtual live online IAPP CIPT course in June, 2021. Tim’s thought-provoking style, real-world examples, and engaging delivery made this an outstanding learning experience. His creative scenarios reinforced the course fundamentals in a way that has definitely lasted long after the course itself. Highly recommended.‍

I attended live online CIPM training with Tim in March 2021.  He made concepts easy to grasp and provided me with the much needed direction to prepare for the CIPM exam.  I was able to take and pass the exam in April 2021 confidently, and have strengthened my Information Privacy knowledge thanks to him.

I attended an IAPP CIPM class in Dublin in 2017 where Tim Clements was the instructor. Tim combined his expert knowledge of Privacy Program Management with his creativity and hands on approach, that worked very well for me. I would absolutely recommend any training by Tim.
