- Leon
“A very informative course and a lot to pack in within the day but definitely worthwhile attending. Having read all the material prior to the course it was extremely useful for the trainer to then go over in depth the different subject matter for what is a very dry but extremely important subject. This course is ideal for all that require the basics in GDPR, any additional requirements and you will definitely need the Practitioners course”
- Cheryl
“I attended the Live Online version of this course which was a really easy process to login to the course and complete the included exam. It is a complex subject but Matt the trainer explained everything in great detail and went at a good pace. Lots of chances to ask questions and go over practice questions before sitting the included exam.”
