What People Say
Thank you for removing the noise from our GDPR preparations. Throughout the short course you made complex information very accessible, giving interesting real life examples which enabled us to better understand the concepts and our obligations. I was pleased you took a common sense approach to unpicking GDPR as other suppliers we had previously spoken to had made us feel quite anxious about the whole thing!
The Speech Recognition People
Very informative and interactive course.

SIRO, Cleveland Police
As I am really new to the subject, a very helpful start.
SIRO, Hampshire Police
The course has given me the confidence to challenge the status quo and seek further information and development in this interesting world. I will not be the SIRO but I am still in a good position to influence change. Thank you for your excellent input. Personally, it was a real privilege to get time with someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Mike
