The trainer Andrew Snow managed to keep me focused and interested throughout the day. I acknowledge this is a dry subject matter for many but Andrew leading the delivery changed this into a very interesting debate about GDPR. Andrew's GDPR knowledge is of the highest level and he answered all our questions. I'm thinking about doing a full C-DPO course now. Thank you!

Wholly recommended - anyone needing an in-depth introduction to the GDPR subject would be encouraged to attend this course

173. Ethan on 20/10/2021, said:

Great materials, great trainer in Andrew Snow - so glad I took this course as I have just changed job roles to one focused on Information Governance and Security - learnt such a lot. Andrew Snow delivered a huge amount of informative material, answered plenty of questions and shared his real life experiences which helped a great deal with context. This all served to enhance my learning experience. It is a course I would definitely recommend.

174. Angela on 20/10/2021, said:

Excellent Course - A lot of information to learn in the day - highly experienced and knowledgeable trainer in Andrew Snow - Course met with expectations completely and good preparation for the Practitioner and DPO courses also available through IT Governance. Recommended

175. Graham on 20/10/2021, said:

A solid 4 stars - the only reason I would not give this 5 stars, which is the fact that I was unable to attend in person - I feel that my experience would have been much more enhanced within the classroom environment. Good quality learner materials serve as great post course references. Trainer Andy Snow was knowledgeable, engaging and kept a good pace. I especially appreciated him checking the learners' understanding throughout and answering any questions with ease and an unflappable delivery style. His real world cases certainly demonstrated relevance and left me confident around the subject. I would wholeheartedly recommend IT Governance and this training course which I consider excellent value for money.

176. Jemma on 19/10/2021, said:

Good quality course materials - lots of information to go through on the day and learnt a lot - Andrew Snow a very good trainer - the course met my expectations and would definitely use and recommend IT Governance again for further training

177. Jonathan on 18/10/2021, said:

Really high quality training courses offered by IT Governance starting with my experience of this Foundation course. It is however, much more than just a snapshot of GDPR - you get unique and expert tuition from a great trainer in Andrew Snow and this is accompanied with high quality course materials - exceeded expectations

178. Cheryl on 18/10/2021, said:

Actually a 4.5 star review - Really good course - highly recommended - has increased my knowledge of the subject - really helpful trainer in Andrew Snow who answered plenty of questions and gave real world scenarios to help drive home key points - Would recommend to anyone needing insight into the subject. Despite this being a Foundation level course, there is a lot of information to learn on the day but I have certainly gained insight and looking forward to my next course with IT Governance.

179. Lynnette on 18/10/2021, said:

Really informative and very useful preparatory step through a GDPR training pathway - highly recommend IT Governance and trainer Andy Snow in imparting his wisdom on this murky subject - you will definitely have an increased understanding of the subject if you take these courses.
