A 1 day course followed by a 4 day course with some of the topics from the first course covered in the second. First course is fast paced and prior reading is ideally needed if you have had limited exposure to GDPR. The second was better paced and more hands on. Overall a good learning experience and practical for GDPR in the workplace. Both courses come with exams at the end.

This is a very intensive week long course 9-5pm. The Foundation is a 1 day course squeezed with a lot of information to digest and at the end of the day you have to sit the exam. This is then followed by the 4 day practitioner course which gives a recap of the foundation but in more detailed way. The Foundation did not offer quizzes using Socrative whilst the Practitioner did. I would recommend reading the course material well in advance. However the course content is very good and lecturer gives food for thought to take away for your organisation.

The course gave me practical insights about GDPR and its application which would help me implement privacy into my organisation. A Big thank you to Matt who was so engaging and interactive, and delved into details to help clarify the granular aspects of the course. Will definitely take further courses with ITGovernance

Matt was a fantastic trainer and was incredibly engaging. He had vast amounts of experience and knowledge to make reference to throughout the various modules. The course itself was well structured, thorough and easy to follow. I will definitely use IT Governance again in the future should the opportunity arise.

This is very good training session. Quite interactive and in details. Few more examples related to each topic could add more value to understand the difficult topics more easy way.
