Extremely engaging course which was very well delivered by Arnie! I was really impressed with not only his extensive knowledge of the ISO 27001 Standard, but his breadth of real world experiences to provide clear interpretations of each particular aspect of audit. Would 100% recommend if you're in an audit role!

Gordon was an excellent trainer throughout the week. I had a bit of a learning blip on day 2 but with his help and the group getting involved I soon managed to get back on track with a good pass at the end of the week…. Gordon clearly has a mass of knowledge and experience that he shared with the course. Very engaging and he is no doubt one of the reasons that so many people passed.

Excellent presentation style, brilliant communication of at times heavy content and a great knack for keeping the audience awake and engaged, (difficult to do with PowerPoint-centric training). Great laugh and very grateful for her efforts. Highly commend and recommend.”
