Course content supplied quickly by IT Governance - the content was clear and concise in bite-size modules. Course certainly met with my expectations. I have taken and passed the exam. Overall, if I were to do something like this again, I would prefer and opt for Class/Live Online as mainly engaged in the course in my own free time due to operational reasons - though this is more of a personal issue rather than any sort of criticism of the course. That said, I rate the course as 5 stars

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.
