Whilst it is very overwhelming going through this training. The test showed just how much I had taken in.

13. Emily on 09/11/2023, said:

Great course, lots of information but having real life examples made it easier to digest. Would recommend for anyone wanting a good foundation on GDPR

14. Pawandeep on 19/10/2023, said:

The GDPR Foundation course was fantastic with a thorough overview of GDPR. The trainer was very clear and concise with in depth knowledge making it very easy to understand. The only negative point was that it was information overload for 1 day which made it hard to digest in one day.

15. Dave on 19/10/2023, said:

The course covered a broad range of topics and material, however, it did not feel rushed and there was time for questions and to discuss examples of applying the theory. A great course for learning the basics of GDPR and a good foundation to build on through further training and practice.

16. Maja on 19/10/2023, said:

The course was informative, and trainer used everyday examples that help with understanding. There is a lot of information to take in and the exam is immediately after the course which doesn’t give much time for the information to ‘digest’. However, the written guides provided with the course are great addition and you can always refer to them in the future.

17. Robyn on 19/10/2023, said:

The trainer had a really broad knowledge and put in some great everyday scenarios to help understand in a real world way. I do feel it's a lot of information to digest and then immediately be tested on, perhaps a next day exam would be benefited to properly process and understand everything. Great course though.
