Delivered well - must have been as I passed easily! Its a dry topic but the instructor got us through the day well and set me up nicely for DPO course that followed

I found the foundation course to be extremely informative. I do feel that it could have been carried out over 2 shorter days, as its a long time to spend online on one topic. IT's a lot of information to consume and I would recommend ensuring you have read your course material and even doing a bit of your own research to familiarise yourself with the subject.

Excellent course with an excellent instructor. As others have mentioned, it is a lot of information. However, this is delivered in the most accessible and engaging way possible. Opens doors to the next level and does a good job of putting attendees on that path. Would highly reccomend.

Matt was a great tutor, really enjoyed the course and I would highly recommend. What could make it better is if you were advised which answers you got wrong on the test.

Great introduction to GDPR and perfectly equips delegates for the Certified Data Protection Officer course.

An excellent course as an introduction to fundamental knowledge. My suggestion would be to complete this alongside the practitioner course - a lot of the questions and discussions held ended up with "that will be covered in the practitioner course" as an answer.

5 stars out of 5
Fantastic coverage of the GDPR, led by a very knowledgeable instructor who could provide real life examples to contextualise the theory. The course was well structured, but be warned - its a lot of information for one day. Im sure it will take a couple of days of private recap over the excellent materials provided to cement this learning.
