Act Now Training would like to congratulate the 10 delegates who have successfully completed our intensive one-week course leading to the GDPR Practitioner Certificate.
The course was delivered in London in August 2017. All 10 delegates passed with 6 achieving a distinction. This is an even better than our first set of results back in May.
The GDPR Practitioner Certificate is aimed at those undertaking the role of Data Protection Officer under GDPR whether in the public or the private sector.
This course will teach delegates essential GDPR skills and knowledge. The course takes place over four days (one day per week) and involves lectures, assessments and exercises. This is followed by a written assessment. Candidates are then required to complete a practical project (in their own time) to achieve the certificate.
The August course delegates represented a diverse range of organisations including councils, universities and government departments from the UK as well as the Isle of Man and the USA(see comment below and at the end of this post). They all enjoyed the course and gave us some very positive feedback about the course and the trainer:
“Thank you very much and this is great news. Close to distinction I was and I am pleased for being the only American in the class. I have a solid foundation on GDPR and look forward to future trainings that will lead to a role as a DPO” Domenic DiLullo, USA

As the lone USA delegate from the August intensive class the Act Now GDPR practitioner course provided me with the necessary tools and skills in Data Protection and Privacy. Tim Turner displayed an uncanny approach to bring important topics and present them that were clear and understandable. I now have the confidence to implement GDPR for my organization. Act now gave me that confidence. DSD. Department of homeland security
