We are passionate and well known for our ‘down-to-earth’ and friendly approach. GDPR, DPA and PECR training

We love helping YOU get it right. We can tailor our courses to provide bespoke information for decision makers and front line staff, or more general awareness raising for all staff where appropriate. Our range of training opportunities relating to best practice and compliance in data protection law, covers the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR training), the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR training).

These can last anywhere from one hour to one week. We deliver all our courses interactively online – just like being in a training venue, but at your desk.

Our prices are very competitive and will depend on length, number of attendees and the amount of preparation work we require. Course delivery is always by a highly experienced data protection specialist.

We provide options that might be specific to your sector, your personal needs, or both. We’re only a ‘click’, call or e-mail away – so get in touch.  Most clients choose one of these:

  • 2, 3, 4 or 6 hours bespoke for your organisation
  • Half Day set agenda courses, either for your organisation or for individuals
  • Full Day set agenda courses, either for your organisation or for individuals 
  • Five Day set agenda courses, either for your organisation or for individuals

We can also use any of the common video-conferencing apps – MS Teams / Zoom / Google Meet etc.

We are one of (only a handful of) companies that can offer you data protection training that awards a certificate endorsed by Qualifi Ltd. who are regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual). This certification includes both our GDPR training courses and our PECR training courses.

Course Developments

Recent additions to our course offering include:

PECR Training
  • On-demand data protection awareness training for small (and not so small) charities – this is proving very popular and is a very cost-effective way of meeting your GDPR obligations and reducing the likelihood of an infringement.
  • Bespoke on-demand data protection awareness training for any organisation. This is for staff who handle personal data but don’t make the decisions about compliance.
  • PECR training – how to comply with data protection rules for direct marketing and fundraising. This is an area where we see a great deal of confusion. The course ensures that you understand both the PECR and the GDPR requirements.
  • Data protection update – developments in case law, legislation and guidance over the last 6 months.

Over time, we will add further courses that might be sector or topic-specific, or more suited to your individual needs. Have a look at what we are currently offering on our course availability page.  If you don’t see what you need just contact us – so that we can advise you of future training courses or develop a bespoke course for you. 

We are Specialists

Unlike many large training companies, we are data protection specialists. This means that developing a bespoke course to suit your needs is absolutely not a problem.We don’t offer HR training. Why would you go to an HR company for GDPR training or PECR training?

Since May 2018 when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the accompanying Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) were introduced all of our training considers both of these pieces of legislation. More recently we have included the implications of Brexit and ongoing developments in UK data protection requirements. Training hours are normally acceptable as CPD for professional bodies whose members must accrue a set number during the year.

As a result of the GDPR’s impact on the significance of ‘consent’ for direct marketing the demand for our PECR training has increased dramatically.

All courses have clear learning outcomes. Qualifi Ltd endorse some of them. For those courses we award their certificates subject to passing an examination. Other courses have certificates of attendance that we issue and you can use for training records and to assist with GDPR compliance.

In-House Online Courses

The benefits of our ‘in-house’ online courses include:

  • Convenient – We can present programmes at a time that is suitable for all your participants. 
  • Confidential – Your opportunity to openly discuss real issues in order to produce real and applicable solutions with our training team.
  • Tailored – Programmes designed to meet the specific requirements of your company or organisation.  We can design a programme for you and ensure the content is specific to your sector or needs
  • Team Work – Greater interaction and enhanced learning experience.
  • Cost Savings – The costs to your organisation are considerably less than booking individual places for participants. A course for 4 or more is likely to be more cost-effective than booking individual places.
