PDP Training Courses - 2009/2010

PDP's professional and practical training courses enable delegates to understand the legal requirements in key areas of compliance.

Our trainers are experts in their fields as well as possessing excellent training skills – we work only with trainers who maintain an average of “excellent” grading on delegate feedback.  All of our courses take place in high quality central city hotel venues.

Our FOI and data protection training courses are designed to fulfil the needs of a variety of audiences, from Compliance Officers to lawyers, and from Human Resources people to Data Protection Officers.  We cater to a wide level of existing knowledge.  All our sessions are fully interactive - questions and discussion are most welcome.

All PDP training courses are accredited by the Law Society.

  A real eye opener into the world of Data Protection Compliance through an excellent delivery of an interactive course that meets every course participant's requirements.  Many thanks again for the course I thought your delivery was excellent and feel now that I have grasped a sound understanding. I guess the difficulties now are getting around the practicalities and the operational issues to ensure that Mills & Reeve follow the highest level possible of Data Compliance.  I have already been in touch with my recruitment agencies this morning to ensure that they are following the rules

 The Privacy & Data Protection seminar was a good forum.  As it was a small group, it gave me an excellent chance to ask questions that were specific to our business and clients.  Peter Carey is an excellent speaker.  He was able to provide information immediately and was well versed with the DPA.  The session was interactive, educational, enjoyable - and not at all intimidating!  Highly recommended
