Received content/access quickly from point of purchase. I especially like the availability of supportive materials. Course met expectations and consider the course and method of learning value for money. Pleased to have passed the exam and received my certificate
2. on 20/09/2022, said:
4 stars out of 5
I received access to the course as soon as I completed my purchase. The content followed a logical order, was structured and in an easily digestible format. The course gave me everything needed to complete successfully and met with my expectations. Being self-paced, this allowed me to be able to save time and money and happy to recommend. Using the course to supplement existing knowledge of the Standard, although I typically prefer classroom/face-to-face learning, this method of learning meant I could devote as much time as necessary to fit in with existing work commitments.

Good course - recommended - Pitched at exactly the right level - worked through materials and have taken and passed the exam
4. on 22/08/2022, said:
4 stars out of 5
I am very pleased that this course went well and achieved a solid pass on the exam. It is a course and method I would happily recommend - Only reason I have for not giving 5 stars is the self paced version does not offer a large variety of real world examples which I do understand is difficult with remote E-Learning but know this occurs with instructor led delivery.
5. on 24/03/2022, said:
4 stars out of 5
Followed my Foundation course with Lead Implementer - I enjoyed the structure of the course and modular learning. There is a lot of information to "take in" but the ability to go back as many times as I needed was a real help. Happily recommended
6. on 24/03/2022, said:
5 stars out of 5
Much more in-depth than I was expecting which was a good surprise. I enjoyed being able to go through this course at my own pace and this certainly helped me balance my existing commitments - Recommended for those already familiar with ISO27001 who would not need the added benefit (and cost) of instructor presence - big thumbs up
7. on 24/03/2022, said:

Highly recommended form of learning - easy to navigate and understand - allows users to go back and check learning and understanding which is an advantage over classroom/live online
