“A very informative course and a lot to pack in within the day but definitely worthwhile attending. Having read all the material prior to the course it was extremely useful for the trainer to then go over in depth the different subject matter for what is a very dry but extremely important subject. This course is ideal for all that require the basics in GDPR, any additional requirements and you will definitely need the Practitioners course”

It is a complex subject but Matt the trainer explained everything in great detail and went at a good pace. Lots of chances to ask questions and go over practice questions before sitting the included exam.”

1. David on 23/05/2024, said:

Delivered well - must have been as I passed easily! Its a dry topic but the instructor got us through the day well and set me up nicely for DPO course that followed

2. Michelle on 02/05/2024, said:

I found the foundation course to be extremely informative. I do feel that it could have been carried out over 2 shorter days, as its a long time to spend online on one topic. IT's a lot of information to consume and I would recommend ensuring you have read your course material and even doing a bit of your own research to familiarise yourself with the subject.

3. Sacha on 02/05/2024, said:

Great course, really insightful.

4. Michael on 22/04/2024, said:

Excellent course with an excellent instructor. As others have mentioned, it is a lot of information. However, this is delivered in the most accessible and engaging way possible. Opens doors to the next level and does a good job of putting attendees on that path. Would highly reccomend.

5. Bridget on 07/03/2024, said:

Matt was a great tutor, really enjoyed the course and I would highly recommend. What could make it better is if you were advised which answers you got wrong on the test.

6. Sam on 29/01/2024, said:

Great introduction to GDPR and perfectly equips delegates for the Certified Data Protection Officer course.

7. Kristien on 11/01/2024, said:

An excellent course as an introduction to fundamental knowledge. My suggestion would be to complete this alongside the practitioner course - a lot of the questions and discussions held ended up with "that will be covered in the practitioner course" as an answer.

8. Ruairi on 14/12/2023, said:

Fantastic coverage of the GDPR, led by a very knowledgeable instructor who could provide real life examples to contextualise the theory. The course was well structured, but be warned - its a lot of information for one day. Im sure it will take a couple of days of private recap over the excellent materials provided to cement this learning.

9. Ella on 07/12/2023, said:

A good introduction to GDPR

10. Chris on 07/12/2023, said:

Great refresher for me and good to touch upon upcoming changes to regulation Matt was engaging and made the subject interesting

11. Simon on 09/11/2023, said:

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

12. 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

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. Alessandro on 21/09/2023, said:

The course was well made, clear explanation and presentation. The trainer was nice and available to answer any doubt, highly recommended.

18. Sara on 21/09/2023, said:

very informative - trainer was clearly knowledgeable on the subject

19. Simona on 21/09/2023, said:

Great course, lots of information and good training materials provided prior to the course. The trainer was very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend it.

20. Drew on 14/09/2023, said:

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.

21. Amy on 14/09/2023, said:

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.

22. Sabrina on 07/09/2023, said:

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.

23. Paul on 24/08/2023, said:

Great course to help reinforce GDPR knowledge. Instructor was friendly and approachable.

24. Tessa on 04/08/2023, said:

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!

25. Hadley on 24/07/2023, said:

Great course to broaden your knowledge and learn key terminology. The trainer was excellent and gave all the information context and gave great examples.

26. Harry on 20/07/2023, said:

Trainer was brilliant! Very helpful and answered any questions asked. Would definitely recommend the course.

27. Amie on 10/07/2023, said:

Excellent course, very informative. Course instructor Andy was very friendly and helpful. The course itself was very in depth, but the training materials really helped build a good understanding of GDPR. Would definitely recommend this course.

28. Laura on 06/07/2023, said:

Course content was engaging and requires you to stay focused throughout. The instructor Andy was incredibly helpful and always available to answer any questions during the course. I highly recommend this course , it covers all the essential aspects of GDPR. The material was presented in a way that made it easier to understand, despite the complexity of the subject. Andy's expertise and guidance were instrumental in clarifying any doubts I had.

29. Jasmin on 06/07/2023, said:

Trainer was excellent, friendly and interactive. We as a group asked many questions and felt at ease ! Thank you

30. Sian on 15/06/2023, said:

Thorough Course with a lot of content delivered by experienced instructor. Requires a day of focus but really helped reinforce GDPR knowledge.

31. Shaun on 15/06/2023, said:

Great course - Matt made a pretty dry subject entertaining & very useful. I came back to work with as list of really useful & practical things we need to put in place. I would definitely recommend this course.

32. Edita on 15/06/2023, said:

I attended the course in person, and while I was worried it would be boring because it's such a dry subject, Matt was very engaging and really helped us to understand and discuss GDPR legislation and applications. Highly recommend!

33. Maria on 08/06/2023, said:

The course was well presentenced and a the instructor was very knowledgeable. I was encouraged to ask questions which gave me the opportunity to solidify my knowledge and clarify all the points I needed help with. I will recommend it!

34. Danielle on 30/05/2023, said:

A fantastic start to building my GDPR knowledge. Thank you!

35. David on 25/05/2023, said:

The trainer was knowledge and engaging. I liked the way he brought up additional resources to compliment key points and discussion.

36. Aleksandra on 25/05/2023, said:

Great course! Could have been a daunting experience, but we were trained by a patient and knowledgeable individual. Highly informative and well-delivered.

43. Andrew on 23/03/2023, said:

Comprehensive overview of GDPR. Lots of useful content for anyone working with personal data.

44. Kassandra on 23/03/2023, said:

A fantastic start to the complex subject. Matt who trained us kept us engaged and had expert understanding of the subject. It could have been a very long day otherwise!

45. Ioan on 09/03/2023, said:

Lots of valuable content. Clear your calendars, because this will take all day!

46. Arshjot on 09/03/2023, said:

Highly informative and well deliver course. The course was packed with information and the prep reading and literature was highly useful. Looking forward to booking the practitioner's course

47. Tracey on 23/02/2023, said:

Brilliant course, Andy covers the content in detail and really brigs the subject to life with real examples. Great course for anyone looking to start their GDPR journey.

48. Pamela on 23/02/2023, said:

Attended the online course with Andy the trainer. Excellent delivery, loads to digest for a one day course but content was ample to be able to pass the exam.

49. Gavin on 26/01/2023, said:

A very detailed and comprehensive course. A lot of information to digest in one day but it's enough to get you through the exam. The benefit comes following the course when you reflect on your notes and the handouts, which consolidates the learning.

50. James on 17/01/2023, said:

Attended the online version of the course. I’m not going to lie, for a day long course, there’s a lot of information to take in but the trainer engages with the class in such a way that it’s nice and easy to understand all the different modules. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get a ‘basic’ knowledge of GDPR.

51. Juanita on 14/01/2023, said:

Andy was an excellent tutor. I would highly recommend him and the course. The course was stimulating and Andy made it practical and relevant. Perfect preparation for the exam at the end of the day.

52. Elizabeth (Liz) on 12/01/2023, said:

Andrew was a great teacher, managing both virtual and in-person students with ease. A lot of material covered and competently and clearly done, given the complexity of the topic. Thank you, I learnt a lot.

53. Paul on 05/01/2023, said:

The GDPR material and course were superb. I booked the course as part of a package with a live online PCI-DSS course which was also really good. The GDPR materials were delivered extremely quickly to my online portal and contained lots of salient examples of GDPR theory in practical situations, emphasising the importance of data privacy and governance. I found the materials and online platform and content excellent. Highly recommended.

54. Jess on 22/12/2022, said:

I booked onto this course knowing the topic would be tough going and we would be covering a lot of content. However, Andrew made the entire day interesting and engaging. As a company, we are not too bad in terms of compliance but doing this course made me understand the gaps that we need to fill. I am sure I will be signing up to the other courses on the back of this one.

55. Georgia on 18/12/2022, said:

Interesting course and really well taught by Matt.

56. Emma on 16/12/2022, said:

Great course & well delivered! Lots of ground covered, but plenty of opportunity to ask questions regarding 'real life' scenarios. Good Venue with a nice lunch/refreshments too!

57. Andrew on 15/12/2022, said:

Great Delivery and a well paced introduction to a large subject!!

58. Christabel on 08/12/2022, said:

Live on-line course with Matt, he was knowledgeable and engaging and gave real life examples. He made me realise how important it is that we understand the legislation and encouraged us to read around the subject and how to keep abreast of new developments and not to feel guilty about spending time reading around the subject. This was a really good course that confirmed a lot of what I already knew but has certainly boosted my confidence to do the role.

59. Patrick on 01/12/2022, said:

Andy knew his stuff and was really happy to answer any questions unique to our business - if this is your first exposure to the technicalities of GDPR I would highly recommend - especially for larger businesses.

60. Victoria on 29/11/2022, said:

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

61. 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.

62. Ffion on 10/11/2022, said:

This was a great course. Matt was really engaging, and I found the course very thorough and well presented.

63. Helen on 10/11/2022, said:

64. Hannah on 10/11/2022, said:

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

65. 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.

66. 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.

67. 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.

68. 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

69. Jeremy on 15/09/2022, said:

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

81. Sue on 15/05/2022, said:

82. Phillip on 15/05/2022, said:

I took the course in person in Ely. It was extremely well delivered in an engaging manner. The trainer really knew his stuff and I genuinely felt by the end of the course that I did too. Really good introduction to GDPR.

Looking forward to attending future courses with IT Governance - Easy 5 stars

205. Kim on 13/09/2021, said:

Perfect course materials - Andrew Snow clearly delivering from experience with plenty of use of real-world scenarios to enhance the learning - really pleased with my exam result - highly recommended

206. Julia on 13/09/2021, said:

Self-Booked via web - completely straightforward and easy - course materials of a good quality. Andrew Snow was thoroughly knowledgeable and engaging . Whilst I had some base-level knowledge of the subject, I still managed to gain a useful number of pieces of take-away information to enhance my knowledge for my Company

207. Keith on 06/09/2021, said:

Overall the content was very good. 8 hours doing online training is challenge . In my opinion the training wasted time trying to find web pages to show the group, these site could have been emailed later for further reading if needed. I got decent score on the exam so please overall.

208. Joe on 06/09/2021, said:

The course was very interesting and of a very high quality from materials to delivery. Andy Snow was an excellent trainer whose experience was demonstrated through the use of plenty of real world scenarios to bring the training subject to life. Would thoroughly recommend this excellent course and IT Governance.

209. Lou on 13/08/2021, said:

I found the course interesting and the slides were a really good length and easy to follow. Im glad I did the course and found the tutor well informed on the subject and happy to answer any questions. Highly recommended.

210. Chris on 13/08/2021, said:

Overall the course was very useful and the amount and level of the information provided was excellent. The trainer Andrew Snow was exceptionally knowledgeable, and its always good having someone who ‘does’ the job and is not a just a trainer. 5 out of 5!! I did the course via online learning, it was quick and easy to connect and the platform worked very well. It is not perfect a perfect training medium, but a worthy substitute in these challenging times.

211. Wendy on 12/08/2021, said:

Course met my expectations very well - What a trainer Andy Snow is!! Great delivery style, clearly knows his stuff and receptive and competently dealt with any questions that came his way. Recommended and Thank you!

212. Jo on 11/08/2021, said:

Course materials of a high quality and received in plenty of time before my course. Andrew Snow was clearly a very knowledgeable consultant who delivered the course and answered questions put to him in an expert manner. He managed to keep pace and maintained the attention and interest of the group using his real world knowledge to amplify key points of the GDPR. I was genuinely pleased with the solid pass mark in my exam and have learned a great deal to take back to my role in Information Governance. A very easy top marks rating for the course, trainer and IT Governance - 5 STAR!!

213. Keely on 09/08/2021, said:

4.5 out of 5 - great ground knowledge to build upon and very good preparation for my upcoming Practitioner course - Value for money and great instructor - Thank you IT Governance

214. Georgia on 14/07/2021, said:

I was a bit apprehensive at first as I havent attended many formal training courses but I needn't have worried. Once I received and read through the excellent pre-course materials which were of high quality with lots of useful links, I was able to take the course with confidence, even achieving a solid pass in the exam which was unexpected. Great trainer in Matthew Potter - This has now given me the confidence to achieve the Practitioner qualification over the next 12 months - 5 star rating well deserved

215. leyton on 14/07/2021, said:

A well thought out, straightforward introduction to GDPR that was delivered very effectively by a thoroughly engaging and knowledgeable trainer - Great preparation for the Practitioner course that follows. Value for Money - Recommended

216. Seraphina on 14/07/2021, said:

I took this course as part of my career development (wanting to become a DPO) - I came away with a lot of valuable knowledge that, despite being an Information Governance Officer, I had not known prior to the course. I found Andrew Snow to be warmly engaging, wholly competent and open to questions from delegates - all in all; the "perfect trainer". I would recommend this course and consider money well spent - definite 5 stars!!

217. Dorota on 07/07/2021, said:

Great course, Great instructor, superb course materials - what can I say - thoroughly recommended and looking forward to my Practitioner Course with IT Governance

218. Dipa on 22/06/2021, said:

Excellent course, delivery, trainer and supporting materials - definite 5 star experience

219. John on 22/06/2021, said:

I thought this course was excellent - 5 stars and couldn't recommend this course highly enough. The instructor and course materials gave me a fantastic foundation level understanding and comprehension of GDPR to support me in my new role and its real world application. The trainer covered a lot of information over the day and remained upbeat and thoroughly engaging.

220. Dawn on 19/05/2021, said:

I came into this course with little knowledge of GDPR and Data Protection. Combined with excellent course materials and a clear, engaging and knowledgeable trainer who consistently referenced real-world examples, this course met with expectations and certainly has given me a lot more confidence and knowledge of the subject ahead of my forthcoming Practitioner's course. I would thoroughly recommend ITG and this training course

221. Charlie on 18/05/2021, said:

I thoroughly enjoyed this course which was enlightening and engaging. I was doubly pleased to take the course at the Ely training centre which certainly enhanced my learning experience. The course instructor was very helpful and clearly was an expert in the subject matter - he was always on hand to answer questions, encouraged learners to participate in discussions and certainly helped me navigate a lot of information during the training

222. Adam on 14/05/2021, said:

5-Star Course from Ordering, through joining , delivery, content and materials. The course was very good and I personally got a lot from it - knowledgeable trainer who afforded plenty of opportunities to ask questions during the course and in the breakout sessions - would recommend

223. Dennis on 14/05/2021, said:

The course was very good organized and structured with many practical examples. Also we could ask questions and always got a clear answer. Although I was not able to complete the course at the day due to an urgency. The support gave me a great solution. Very customer oriented! Thank you again!

224. Clare on 28/04/2021, said:

Only reason I did not rate this course 5 star is that I wished I had attended this training in the Ely Training Facility - experience of the trainer was excellent and despite a lot of information to absorb on the day, I feel more prepared for future training. I am looking forward to my next courses through Practitioner and 2-day DPO with IT Governance and will make sure I attend the classroom to get maximum benefit. thoroughly recommend IT Governance for GDPR training.

225. Helen on 23/04/2021, said:

The instructor made a complex and difficult subject clear to all. His knowledge was very impressive indeed. Always affording plenty of time for questions and despite a number of challenging and obscure questions from others on the course, he was able to answer them, demonstrating expertise in the subject. Overall the course was very well put together, well presented and informative with all the different modules clearly explained and defined. I also found the pre-course material and the joining process easy.

226. Stuart on 22/04/2021, said:

I found the course extremely good and informative. The only reason for not giving a 5 star rating was because I normally prefer more technical and practical training (I am an IT Manager) and accept that this is not possible with training in this subject. I felt the instructor was excellent and went out of his way continuously to check understanding and was open to questions throughout. I would thoroughly recommend this course where increased knowledge of GDPR is required.

227. Nikita on 21/04/2021, said:

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this course to anyone who needs GDPR training and is suitable for any organisation. The Course instructor was thoroughly engaging; he explained everything in plain and simple terms and gave plenty of opportunity throughout to delegates wanting to ask questions - thoroughly recommend the course and IT Governance in particular

228. Louise on 22/03/2021, said:

I signed up to IT Governance’s GDPR Foundation Training Course as I have been selected to be the Company’s privacy manager (or similar) and I had NO idea about GDPR. That is now not the case. This fast paced one day introduction to GDPR was intense but great. The pre course reading pack and the pack that went with the course is a really good resource and I would suggest trying to read the whole thing BEFORE the course if you can. The course leader was very articulate and answered all our questions, she had a lot of information to share and did this well – highlighting particular points that could come up in the exam at the end. The exam at the end was very intense and a closed book exam – you have to try and remember everything that you have covered in the hours before hand! In ‘normal’ circumstances when you could all be in a room together, learning together and discussing the whole experience would have been less stressful and I would have scored the course 5/5. I would recommend anyone who has no or little idea about GDPR to take part in this course – stress saving tip just do the background reading before.

229. Tyron on 16/03/2021, said:

I recently attended the GDPR foundation training course and, as I’m relatively new to data protection, I found that it more than covers the essentials needed for my role and I look forward to attending follow on courses to further my understanding. The trainer was patient and knowledgeable and really added value to the course, I’d definitely give this course a 5/5.

230. Steve on 19/01/2021, said:

I attended the Live Online version of this course which was a really easy process to login to the course and complete the included exam. It is a complex subject but the trainer explained everything in great detail and went at a good pace. Lots of chances to ask questions and go over practice questions before sitting the included exam which I passed with a good score, Credit to the trainer on preparing us for the exam.

231. Leon on 26/11/2020, said:

The in-class trainer was great and I passed the exam with a very good score on first try. The course was well organised and on going support from IT Governance is fast and efficient. Highly recommend IT Governance to anyone who wants to upgrade their professional qualifications.

232. Chloe on 10/11/2020, said:

I attended the Live Online version of this course which was a really easy process to login to the course and complete the included exam. It is a complex subject but Matt the trainer explained everything in great detail and went at a good pace. Lots of chances to ask questions and go over practice questions before sitting the included exam.

233. Cheryl on 31/10/2020, said:

A very informative course and a lot to pack in within the day but definitely worthwhile attending. Having read all the material prior to the course it was extremely useful for the trainer to then go over in depth the different subject matter for what is a very dry but extremely important subject. This course is ideal for all that require the basics in GDPR, any additional requirements and you will definitely need the Practitioners course.

234. Eloise on 22/10/2020, said:

I found this course really useful as it gave a good understanding of GDPR and the trainer really helped the entire group absorb the information. However be prepared it is a complex subject and there is a lot to take in ready for the exam at the end of the course.

235. Tanya on 28/09/2020, said:

A very good overview of the subject but there was a lot to absorb and it did become a little time-consuming and boring.

236. Althea on 27/01/2020, said:

I attended the classroom-based course, 20th Jan 2020. The course was well lead and presented by a very passionate trainer. The delivery was fast-paced and concise, covering a large amount of practical information enabling me to pass the assessment. Anyone new to GDPR, I’d highly recommend reading the pre-course material. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to pursue a career in GDPR.

237. COLIN on 10/01/2019, said:

On-line course was interesting, informative and modules well covered and clearly explained. Documentation provided was of same quality, online tools and exam prep where spot on. Exam - all covered in the materials, few tricky questions! Overall, a very good way to learn more about GDPR. Practitioner course next!

238. IT Governance Customer on 04/12/2018, said:

Ceren, Executive Assistant attended this course in September, 2018: Our trainer was very helpful and listened to our individual scenarios and helped to guide us in the direction and where to turn to with further questions. It was a very good session and I feel confident in the foundation course.

239. Emma on 11/09/2018, said:

Really good trainer! He kept us all engaged, made it interesting and we enjoyed it. Only thing that I would change was the length of the class. I think it would have been more beneficial to hold over two days as a lot to take in and I would have liked to have asked more questions. Other than that, really good and would recommend if looking to understand the basics or start a path into being a DPO

240. Bob Milne on 29/03/2018, said:

Of all the courses that I have attended throughout the years, David is the most efficient trainer I have come across. His presentation skills, knowledge of the subject and his enthusiasm contributed to making this particular course a joy to attend.

241. Gordon on 20/11/2017, said:

Course Content 5 out of 5. Course Instructor 6 out of 5. Pre Course instructions 5 out of 5.

242. Mark on 17/07/2017, said:

Very good overview of the subject but a lot to take in for one day to pass the Foundation. I do feel far more informed now though and that is helping my team understand the challenge and also helps me working on our GDPR programme.

243. Michael on 11/11/2016, said:

I can recommend this training and certification without reservation. I have had an enormous professional benefit of taking the GDPR-F and GDPR- P training and certifications.

244. Ian on 24/08/2016, said:

This was a great course and the Instructor knew the material.
