GDPR Advanced (Management) Training, Page 2 Reviews

A stupid idea to force everyone to do this on an annual basis. The materials are didactic and instantly forgettable. This is not good quality training and just a tick box exercise. No attempt to assess prior competence and tailor to the needs of the individual. A very poor example of good training.

The slides (not course) was overly lengthy. Irrelevant to most of what I do. Please please please, people listen to stories and jokes (relevant). You bored me to death. I ran the videos but moved away and did something else. Passed but not because I wanted to after your course. You did not inspire me. Come on, you can do better

As this was for everyone working in the company it was too far in depth for the majority of staff and needs to be shorter.

I failed because one of the questions was unanswerable. It asked: At what age are children legally able to give their own consent for data to be processed? I understand that the GDPR sets the age of consent at 16 years of age but allows individual member states to lower the age of consent to a minimum of 13 years old and the Uk has chosen 13 - but it didn't state UK GDPR in the question - so I went with what the majority is. There either needs to be an additional option to say 'it's different in every country' or the question needs to be changed to specify UK.

Off all the training modules, I found this module particularly difficult to follow, and felt that perhaps the information could have been presented in different ways, to make it easier to understand.

As a master of a crew transfer vessel, the questions are often phrased in a way that is not relatable to offshore operation of a vessel. My main focus should be on the operation and health and safety of my vessel and crew, not the role of an office worker or manager.

Needs more examples to bring it to life. Hard to retain as quite complicated. Needs simplifying really.

This is a far longer and more complicated presentation of GDPR than I have ever been asked to sit through in my role at work. For the purposes for which I have been asked to complete this - holding the personal details of a small number of children at our Urban Saints children's group - then 95% of this is completely irrelevant. Such training courses do a disservice to the need to train people in the youthwork sector in the basics of GDPR. What is needed is a clear and simple message with clear and simple guidelines. Anything beyond that risks alarming people to the extent that they will either ignore it completely or just give up - a sentiment that I was close to sharing by the end of the course.
