Very informative course of training with lots of examples and scenarios. Would recommend.

62. Kimberley on 14/11/2022, said:

Did this course a few months ago, and completely forgot to leave a review, the 1 day course is great for getting some additional knowledge on GDPR, learning about data transfers etc. If you're looking to do the 4 day DPO course also offered, this has to be completed first and is a great stepping stone into the course.

Excellent course and trainer and brilliant facilities and good lunch. I have booked the next level to continue with my learning

66. Elliot on 02/11/2022, said:

This course was very useful, and despite being fast paced (to cram everything in) it was incredibly helpful and interesting. Matt was a brilliant trainer and incredibly engaging, he made what can be considered a dry subject incredibly interesting.

67. Fiona on 20/10/2022, said:

Fast paced course but well presented by Matt and very engaging. It was very thorough with lots of opportunity to engage. Would definitely recommend.

68. Connie on 06/10/2022, said:

Course was a very broad overview of GDPR. The course gives you all the fundamentals. It is an extremely intense course but good for adding to your knowledge base.

69. Chris on 03/10/2022, said:

good course however , make sure that the course is suitable for all attendees. this covers GDPR in great detail, where as most people will just need the basics overall though, a good session in awareness

The trainer was very knowledgeable and engaging. It was a thorough but enjoyable course that certainly left me feeling like I had learnt a lot
