I’ve been to lots of courses on GDPR and the way it’s been delivered today, I actually now understand it”. 2019 Workshop Feedback ‘Have been to numerous GDPR from both a technical and legal aspect. But this was an excellent layman’s approach – and made immediate sense. Have suggested to Executive Committee to finds out about how to attend one as they would benefit greatly’. ‘Well informed and easy digesting of a laborious subject’ ‘Found the workshop last Wednesday excellent. I’m registrar and assistant secretary for our club and if I’m honest I had being putting off going to GDPR workshop. It’s a long drive to Portlaoise and a 3 hour workshop, I was wondering if I would learn anything new. It was one of the best workshops I’ve been too. I had a fear of GDPR and played everything so safe with our club which nearly inhibited the daily running of our club, can’t do this, can’t do that, because of GDPR. Darragh was excellent in explaining everything and giving me a very good understanding of what is involved. Delighted I attended and highly recommend the workshop’. ‘A much more workable approach to Data Protection – not to be feared but can be worked with’. Share this Article 0 0
