I recently completed the FOI Practitioner certificate course Training, and it was incredibly informative and highly interactive. The course included quizzes, and useful resources, which really enhanced the learning experience. I also appreciated having physical copies of the materials to refer back to. The teaching method was excellent, and our instructor, Lynn Wyeth, did an amazing job. I highly recommend this training.
I highly recommend the GDPR Practitioner course. The trainers were exceptionally knowledgeable, and the course was engaging and interactive from start to finish. It has significantly enhanced my skills and positively impacted my role at work. I loved how the trainers can explain GDPR in simple English, while making the course enjoyable at the same time! The Act Now on UK GDPR Handbook was provided which is very useful. I look forward to enrolling in the intermediate course in the future.
Act Now Training deliver excellent courses. I have done their GDPR Practitioner's certificate and found it to be an excellent grounding in the use of GDPR. The course taught me how to think about problems, explain recommendations and to make a cogent argument for my thinking. Ibrahim Hasan makes a potentially dry subject engaging and thought provoking. I cannot recommend Act Now Training highly enough.
Excellent course. What could have been a dry topic was transformed by excellent and engaging expert delivery.
I highly recommend Act Now Training. The speaker presented a relatively heavy topic in a highly interesting manner.
The course is extremely useful in explaining GDPR and other associated legislation and how they should be applied.
Thank you for a really helpful and practical course. It was pitched at just the right level for me.
