“I enjoyed the course. Julie Dennis the lecturer was really enthusiastic and helped make what could be a dry course interesting. She was willing to help and send us additional study material if required.”

“The training was well pitched to cover the full breadth of GDPR and DPA18. The course materials were provided at an opportune time and will provide enduring support as quality reference materials. For a particularly heavy topic I feel I gained value in the training sessions provided.”

“Joyce & Freevacy once again provide an exemplary course - like the previous one i attended (FOI Practitioner course), this too was delivered in a professional, engaging and easy to understand format. In short I cannot recommend Joyce, and the courses Freevacy offer, highly enough. 10/10!”

“The content and delivery of the course is great, you can see that Joyce knows this stuff inside out. The manual is also very good, although it could probably use a bit of proofreading to add to its already high value. For example, some phrases end in a comma (which seems to indicate more content should be there), inverted commas that open but don't close, among other minor details that caught my eye. But it's still an invaluable source of knowledge that will help me throughtout my career. Thank you for that!”

“Julie was excellent. She helped make the subject very relevant to my role. Also helped by giving good examples and scenarios. Thank you to Jodie also who had to watch while I took my exam. She was very helpful and made it a very straightforward process (apart from the nerve-racking exam itself!!) Thanks to you all.”

“The course content, delivery and presentation were spot on! The trainer was particularly very good at delivering the course in a virtual environment, which for me was initially a concern. She made it work really well for us with the right level of interaction.”

“This was my second course with Freevacy - I have now completed both the BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection and the BCS Practitioner Certificate in Freedom of Information. I found the course to be well put together, delivered at a sensible pace, with time out for discussion and plenty of opportunities to practice questions. Joyce is an expert in her field and delivers the course in an informative way. Happy to recommend this course highly.”

“The course was well-paced and Julie was an excellent trainer, encouraging interaction amongst the candidates and drawing on their previous experience in matters relevant to that day's training. Helped me to pass the exam at the end of the course with 95%.”

“Course was initially advertised to me as a 5 day course and ended up being 10 days. I would suggest breaking the slides up more, with other another type of activity. Having the Foundation course as a pre-requisite would have been useful.”

Hi Steven, Thank you for your feedback. We understand it can be difficult to take time out for professional development, especially when there is a sudden change in your expectations of what is required. We are unsure how the correct information did not get through to you, given that the duration of the course is explained in several places on our website and documentation. The BCS GDPR Practitioner course is only delivered over five days in a face-to-face classroom environment, but due to COVID, we adapted the presentation and found the flow to work better when delivered across ten half-day online sessions. The information is clearly outlined within the joining instructions emailed directly to all delegates before the course commences, a copy you would have received. Your employers also acknowledged the change in delivery since the last time we provided this training prior to the pandemic. However, we understand this information may not have been relayed to you. Given all that we have done, in this instance, there are no changes that we can make to improve our process, which would help prepare delegates before joining one of our courses, but we thank you for your feedback. We are also grateful for your advice to other potential interested delegates that the BCS Foundation Certificate in Data Protection should be a prerequisite before advancing onto the Practitioner level you attended. We agree with this for anyone new to the subject and make such recommendations to prospective customers already. This was also discussed and offered with your employers. We are, in fact delivering the BCS GDPR Foundation course online for your employer alongside the Practitioner course, but as we are sure you understand, it is not our responsibility to decide who is allocated to attend or at what level. The BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection is a highly challenging qualification to obtain, even for those with several years of experience working in privacy compliance. We will, of course, be on hand to help with your preparations to pass your BCS exam should you require any additional assistance, whether via email or even one-to-one coaching during your self-study period. We also have the one-day exam preparation event booked, where we will give you some final coaching before your exam.

“The materials are good and Joyce's knowledge is strong - it is a shame we could not be in the classroom as this is how I learn best, but Joyce did so well to make the material as engaging as possible and encourage discussions”

“I completed the CIPP-E and CIPM training and can say I found the courses challenging, interesting and conducted to a high standard. Julie was engaging and I enjoyed the experience and opportunity to build upon my knowledge with a non work perspective and in a relaxed environment. Thank you.”

“Trainer was very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. I am relatively new to my role in Data Protection and found this course incredibly helpful. Being sent all the course material through the post is very helpful as I can refer back to it throughout my career.”
