Thanks to Charlotte and Mel for helping me choose and book this course - really helpful - I needed to understand GDPR more fully from a very basic knowledge start-point which this course certainly achieved. I would even say the overall experience exceeded my initial expectations!!! Andrew Snow, the trainer, kept a varied group engaged and encouraged plenty of interaction. I got some great links Andy shared and achieved a good pass in my exam which I was very pleased with - looking forward to my upcoming Practitioner course and despite feeling nervous, I am in good hands with IT Governance. Thank You

Thank you to Annette Shipton who helped sort out a few issues with access to my course materials - once received I found these to be of good quality and a useful accompaniment to the course. Andrew Snow the trainer was EXCELLENT in every respect - knowledgeable and affable - fielded all questions with ease and lots of real world examples to boost takeaway knowledge

and a SOLID 4 - Booked Online which was nice and easy - I am changing from a Technical role to Information Governance and this course met my hopes by giving me a solid foundation knowledge of the subject led and delivered by an extremely knowledgeable trainer in Andrew Snow - Overall would have been a 5 star rating if I had had the chance to attend the course in person which was not possible - very satisfied; great value and recommended
