Very good explanation of a complicated subject

This is a very good course but the some parts are also covered in the GDPR Basic course. Anyone taking this course sould not need to also take the basic one.

Excellent

Course content was very good but it was too long it can be broken into parts

Some videos have extra unnecessary information. Please slim down.

A lot of information required to take in, but not always in the main course

I understand there is a lot of information to know about when it comes to GDPR, but I found it frustrating that some of it was in the additional resources rather than the main course despite being tested on it. This meant I failed on the first attempt at the course and had to go back to the appropriate chapter to read up about it. Considering the course content ran for almost 70 minutes, plus I made notes which double the time it took to complete, this was disappointing. At least the presenter clearly explained what was in the main course which helped with my note taking and I was easily able to answer most of these questions.

Too much general information not enough real world examples

The course covered a lot of material and was thorough. But it was too much at times. There were not enough real world examples to apply context, so a lot of the ideas were very abstract and it was hard to see how they were personally relevant.

Concise, relevant and up to date

Well delivered course covering all the key areas of the legislation. Have taken the course previously and it is good to see that it has been updated.

good

Why is this training important?

Compliance

It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

In May 2018, the EU GDPR came into effect. At the same time, the UK also introduced a new Data Protection Act. This sat alongside the GDPR and set out certain provisions which the GDPR allowed countries to decide for themselves.

On 31st January 2020, the UK enacted the Withdrawal Agreement which, among other things, signalled the UK’s exit from the EU and entry into a transition period. During the transition period, all EU laws, including the GDPR, continued to apply. However, to avoid any problems at the end of the transition period, the Agreement also introduced the UK GDPR. This was a combination of the EU GDPR and the Data Protection Act which tweaked the European Regulation to make it relevant to the UK. During the transition period, both the EU and UK GDPR were in effect in the UK until the end of the transition when just the UK GDPR remained.

Today, both GDPRs are in effect in their own areas; the EU GDPR across the European Union and the wider European Economic Area and the UK GDPR in the UK.
