Data Protection Training - Are your procedures padlocked?
Of the most misquoted and misunderstood laws in effect today, The “Data Protection” Act has the greatest implications for getting a business and an individual into trouble and maybe even court or prison.
The Information Commissioner said in October 2007 that awareness of the requirements was at an all time low.
Endless security leaks and lost information highlight the need for proper procedures and staff awareness.
Our solution is an online course that takes managers and employees through the essentials of the Data Protection Act.
This course is suitable for frontline staff & managers, anyone handling customer information or data.
You can use it as part of induction procedures, as an annual refresher or as and when you need to.
When your staff have completed the course, they will –
- Understand the Data Protection principles
- Know how to follow correct procedure
- Understand their role in maintaining the security of customer details.
- Know the procedures to follow when customers request a copy of their data.
The course is simple to follow, requires no special technology and can be completed anywhere .
Any number of staff can study at the same time with just a web connection.
With our BEFORE and AFTER Assessment, you can be sure of staff understanding.

Need more training?
In these troubled times, it makes sense to reduce essential outgoings such as staff training. Our training solutions are value for money, cost effective and just make sense...
Pick and mix your courses
Pick the courses you want and we will set up a “virtual learning centre” for you.
A what?
Your staff will see the courses you want them to. Your managers can see and monitor progress from an online management control panel.
Go ahead and chose as many or as few as you want. We can have you set up in just a day or so.
What no classroom?
We have found the classroom to be the most inefficient way of teaching and training – so we ditched it and now work solely online.
Because these courses are virtual, there is no travel involved. And while that’s good for the environment, it also means;
- No travel costs or hotels to pay for
- No one turns up late or on the wrong day
- No waiting on room bookings or trainer availability
Easy to navigate around
All courses use simple point and click navigation. The user is in no doubt where they should go next or what they should do. They are designed as to be “unbreakable”
Viewable on any browser
Courses are designed so that they can be viewed on any standard computer screen. You will need the flash player but that’s free and already installed on 99% of new computers.
Easy to understand
We think that training and learning should be easy to use and fun. That’s why we have used our extensive experience to break the course down into structured parts and bite sized chunks.
But I don’t have a lot of users
