Understanding Digital Services and Platform Regulation
The EU rules for online services in outline: the e-Commerce and Digital Content Directives, the Digital Services Act, the Digital Markets Act and the P2B Regulation, and which apply to which business.
AreaConsumer, Marketing, Product and Service Compliance
This course maps the EU rules for online services and explains which apply to which business: the e-Commerce Directive’s information duties, electronic contracting and liability for hosted content; the Digital Content Directive’s conformity, updates and remedies; the Digital Services Act’s duties by service type and size; and the Digital Markets Act and the P2B Regulation for gatekeepers and the business users of platforms. It’s written for product, legal, compliance and commercial roles in companies that sell or deliver services online.
A company that sells online, runs a marketplace, offers an app or distributes through a platform is covered by several of these rules at once, and the obligations differ with its role and size. Teams need to know which rules reach their service before they build a feature, change terms or launch in a new market. The course gives them the map; the digital services and DSA courses in this category go on to the obligations in detail.

It supports one, where a rule asks that people are trained on the subject, and TechClass records who completed it. Whether a requirement is met depends on your own policies and processes, so that is a question for your compliance lead or legal adviser.
