Am I eligible for SME Data Essentials e-learning?

Check if you need to register

To be eligible, you need to either register and pay a data protection fee to the ICO, or you’d need to be exempt.

It's the law to register and pay the fee, which funds the ICO's work, but it also makes good business sense. Whether or not you're registered could have an impact on your reputation. Paying the fee and being listed on the ICO's register of fee payers shows that your business takes data protection seriously.

Find out if you need to register and pay the fee by taking the registration self-assessment.
