“I attended the classroom-based course, 20th Jan 2020. The course was well lead and presented by a very passionate trainer. The delivery was fast-paced and concise, covering a large amount of practical information enabling me to pass the assessment. Anyone new to GDPR, I’d highly recommend reading the pre-course material. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to pursue a career in GDPR.”

“The in-class trainer was great and I passed the exam with a very good score on first try. The course was well organised and on going support from IT Governance is fast and efficient. Highly recommend IT Governance to anyone who wants to upgrade their professional qualifications.”

- 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.”

- Chloe
