Thailand’s PDPC Launches Free Online Data Privacy Training
The Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) has expanded its free e-learning platform, reaching over 80,000 participants to date.
As reported by Khaosod Online Thailand on July 31, 2026, the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) is promoting its 'PDPC e-Learning' platform to improve public understanding of personal data protection. The initiative offers free, flexible online courses accessible to anyone, regardless of location or schedule, aiming to remove barriers related to travel and training costs.
For residents and long-term visitors in Thailand, this program provides an opportunity to better understand how personal data is handled, used, and disclosed under local regulations. Participants who complete the curriculum and meet the required criteria receive an e-Certificate, which can be used to demonstrate professional development or organizational compliance. PDPC Secretary-General Pol. Col. Surapong Plengkham stated that the platform is designed to cater to both general citizens interested in protecting their privacy and professionals working with data.
While the platform has already surpassed 80,000 learners, the long-term impact on national data security awareness remains to be seen. Those interested in utilizing the service should visit the official PDPC e-Learning portal to verify current course availability and specific certification requirements. This initiative reflects a broader effort to integrate digital safety into the daily lives of those living and working within Thailand’s digital ecosystem.
