After completing the self-paced GDPR foundation course via IT Governance. I decided to further my knowledge by undertaking the Practitioner course. I decided to do this course through IT Governance again as I found the 1st course structure & information really easy to use and navigate. I recommend this course to anyone who would like to gain more understanding of GDPR. The self-paced way of learning is also a major benefit to those who, are like me working a full time job from home.
