‘I enjoyed the freedom to discuss specific cases and areas of difficulty and to be able to learn from the other delegates’ experiences. The trainer was knowledgeable, confident and clear in the delivery of the course, it was clear she knows the subject matter and it felt very authentic. This is the first virtual training I have attended and I was unsure how I would find it, but it worked very well, the group size was very good and I was able to stay engaged.’

RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL
‘I have been on other courses when there has been far too much emphasis spent on teaching the DPA Act, GDPR and legislation etc, which I fully understand the importance of. Today the correct amount of time was spent on covering this without losing the interest of the trainee in the 1st hour! When I come on these courses I want to learn the practical aspects so I can put them into practice when back in the office. Nat presented these elements with an obvious expert authority and a relaxed good humoured style allowing me to benefit in her knowledge.’
