I found this course really helpful and the trainer was great. He would use everyday examples to break down some of the really complicated parts and took each stage slowly to ensure everyone understood. It's a lot of information to take in within one day but it's done in a way that allows you to ask questions and discuss bits as a group which helps.

Great course to broaden your understanding on GDPR. Trainer was very engaging and clearly very knowledgeable. It is a lot of information to digest in one day so I think it helps to come with at least a basic understanding of GDPR. I can definitely say my knowledge has strengthened significantly from this course.

This was a great course and provided a thorough overview of GDPR. The trainer was amazing and had in depth knowledge and was easy to understand. The only negative was it was a lot of information to digest in one day.

The instructor Andy, was very engaging, which was great as GDPR isn't usually the most interesting of topics. The course was well presentenced and Andy was very knowledgeable/able to assist with everyone's random questions. This course made GDPR painless!
