DPP training: upskill your team before the obligation arrives

The Digital Product Passport obligation is not solved by a vendor: it is solved by a team that understands what it is about. Before buying tools or hiring consultants, your people need to speak the language of the DPP, the ESPR and traceability. That is what our training is about. If you are new to it, start with what a DPP is.

Why train now (and not in 2027)

The field is moving fast: peer-reviewed output on “Digital Product Passport” went from a handful of articles in 2021 to hundreds a year by 2025. Regulation advances in parallel. A team that understands the terrain makes better decisions, avoids buying the wrong solutions and turns compliance into advantage. Waiting until 2027 means learning under pressure with the clock against you.

What your team masters by the end

• The regulatory framework: ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781), Data Act and the category-by-category timeline.
• The standards: GS1 identity, GS1 EPCIS 2.0 and why interoperability matters.
• The circular economy: how data enables resale, repair, buy-back and re-certification.
• Data governance: who owns which data, how it flows and how to avoid a silo.

Who is it for?

The training adapts to the profile:

• Product and operations — to lead the implementation with judgement.
• Sustainability and compliance — to translate regulation into concrete requirements.
• Technology and systems — to understand standards and integration without reinventing.
• Public sector — to design policy and traceability programmes on a technical basis.

Formats

• Intensive workshop — a focused session to bring the whole team up to speed.
• In-company programme — tailored to your industry and your starting point.
• Public-sector training — oriented to policy, interoperability and governance.

Why with us

We do not teach brochure theory. Our training combines peer-reviewed research on the DPP as data infrastructure (see Research) with the experience of having put a real passport platform into operation. It is academic rigour landed in practice.

Frequently asked questions

Does training replace consulting?

It complements it. Training gives the team judgement; implementation puts it into practice. Many organisations start by training and then decide with more clarity.

Can it be delivered online?

Yes, remote or in person, whatever suits your team.

Is it useful if I do not yet know whether the DPP applies to me?

That is exactly what it is for. The training gives you the judgement to know whether it applies, when, and what it involves — before committing budget.
