“I flew in from the States to take this course (all expenses paid out of my own pocket), and I was not disappointed. If you were to offer some additional masterclass-level courses (such as DSAR+Breach Management) in a contiguous, single-location, 4-5 day block, I could easily justify the cost and logistics of another international trip to attend.”

"Matt was an exceptionally engaged and knowledgeable instructor. He took every question seriously and worked in his thoughtful responses to the materials elegantly!”
- John LoForese, Associate Counsel, Google
"In terms of online learning, this worked great. Personally I am always a fan of a classroom and being in the same room with the other people on the course and the instructor. Having said this engagement on WebEx and the delivery method worked well. There was a greater sense of inclusion and group discussion than I thought possible in an online session. Matt was also brilliant in his knowledge of the subject and ability to deliver the content"
- Benjamin Phillips, Data Protection Officer, Chichester College Group.
“Matt is a fantastic trainer, great ability to talk about practical application, not just recant what's on the powerpoint. His real experience means he's not just knowledgeable but can demonstrate application really well. Also a great presenter, easy to listen to, well balanced info. Thank you so much Matt, you've given me a great start”
