Exam Overview

The LGPD exam measures knowledge and applied judgment against IAPP’s official Body of Knowledge and Exam Blueprint.

  • Exam: Exame LGPD (LGPD)
  • Level: Professional certification examination
  • Duration: 2 hours
  • Passing Score: 300 on IAPP’s 100–500 scale.
  • Number of Questions: 60

Exam Structure

The LGPD exam is a proctored assessment built from the official LGPD syllabus; all questions are multiple choice, and certification exams may include scenario-based and clearly labeled multi-select items.

  • Question Types: Multiple-choice; some IAPP certification exams include scenario-based and multi-select questions.
  • Number of Questions: 60
  • Hands-On or Performance-Based Items: IAPP does not identify a hands-on lab component.

Exam Policies

Before completing LGPD exam registration, review the IAPP Candidate Handbook and Pearson VUE rules.

  • Rescheduling: Online Proctored exams can be rescheduled up to 30 minutes before check-in. Test Center exams can be rescheduled up to 48 hours before the scheduled appointment.
  • Cancellation: Online Proctored exams can be cancelled up to 30 minutes before check-in. Test Center exams can be cancelled up to 48 hours before the scheduled appointment.
  • Retake Policy: A failed attempt requires purchasing another exam attempt. IAPP provides discounted pricing for previously failed exams; consult the current Candidate Handbook and store terms for attempt requirements.
  • Retake Fee: A new attempt requires the applicable discounted or standard LGPD exam fee displayed by IAPP at purchase.

Certification Validity and Renewal Options

Passing LGPD plus CIPM satisfies the exam component of the CDPO/BR certification; passing LGPD alone does not award CDPO/BR.

  • Validity: The CDPO/BR credential follows IAPP’s certification-maintenance requirements after all requirements are met.
  • Renewal Options: Maintain an active credential with 20 relevant continuing education credits and either IAPP membership or the USD 250 Certification Maintenance Fee for each two-year term.

Exam Fee

  • Base Fee: Not officially disclosed by IAPP; confirm pricing with an authorized IAPP Official Training Partner.
  • Taxes: Local taxes may apply, so the final LGPD certification cost depends on purchase location and checkout.
  • Example (India): Not calculable from a public base price; the authorized training partner will display applicable taxes.
