On the Agenda
Journées professionnelles en AIPVP
In consistence with the goals of the previous conventions, the AAPI now furthers its mission by hosting Journées professionnelles en AIPVP that are meant for practitioners and people in charge of ATIP.
The goal of these is to optimize your practices with the help of concrete tools. You will come out of these with solutions that are adapted to your area of activity and reality, and applicable immediately. This approach has proven to be appropriate in the perspective of greater transparency and of an enhanced protection of personal information.

Access to and Protection of Personal Information Professional Training–Private Companies (APPIPT-PC)
According to the changes that are proposed in bill 64 (An Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information), “every person who operates a company must determine and apply policies and practices that are adequate, in order to regulate their governance pertaining to personal information and to protect this information.” The Access to and Protection of Personal Information Professional Training–Private Companies (APPIPT-PC), which is currently being developed, will allow the designated people in charge of the protection of personal information as well as the company’s staff to quickly acquire knowledge and develop practices and tools in this area.
Continuing Education Program
The activities of the Continuing Education Program will enable professionals that are concerned with access to information and privacy (ATIP) within their work to acquire knowledge in order to retain their skills in these matters.
Pedagogical Approach
The pedagogical approach adopted by the AAPI encourages the active participation of people who have signed up, as well as the studying of real situations, to provide them with concrete solutions and practices. These situations include not only common cases, but also more complex or delicate issues that you will learn to solve. Therefore, you will also gain confidence in your own professional reality when it comes to ATIP.
