The course provided a wealth of information, covering the basics of data protection but through the lens of how it can be applied while working in marketing. This is my first role in this field, and I found it beneficial to be able to ask questions throughout the session as a beginner. Areas for improvement would be to have more explanation as to the differences between B2B and B2C marketing, and I would have liked to have known the answers to the exam as well to identify where I went wrong. Overall, the course was engaging and informative and I would highly recommend.

It gives you all you need to know to keep your data secure. You learn lots about all the different types of data privacy and all the easy mistakes that can be made. The good thing about this course is that I came out of it with a list of tasks i can bring back to my business to implement and improve our privacy.
