This course was an excellent starter for those unaware of GDPR regulations. It only skims the surface of the subject, but does a good job of doing this and alleviating any concerns that the subject is difficult to broach. There are recommended further reading in the resources sections should you wish to go into more detail. The course does not target a particular type of company so it should be possible to apply the information provided to your own situation.

Incredibly good course! As an introductory course, it covers all the basics but each part of the course it's so well explained it makes the GDPR accessible for anyone :)

It is simply enough but I have hard to focus since it is a bit boring.

Very good!

By Enrico CAMPANELLA on 11/6/2020

The lectures were very informative, well thought out and nicely presented, however some of the q&a were needlessly confusing in their wording. For example an answer where the organisation "refuses to respond" is confusing. I would consider replacing it with "refuses to comply with the request"

Excellent Overview of and introduction to GDPR

I do a lot of online learning. A lot.
I usually give four and a half stars for courses which are engaging and meet my learning needs. This course has proven to be more useful than that. The frequent quizes allow direct application of the learning in real-time and are much more like a face-to-face learning environment.
More courses should use this model!!!
