Upcoming courses

Excellent, engaging, and enjoyable. Very clear and good use of real life examples. I liked the learning and then testing the knowledge. I thought this was just the right amount of teaching and discussion. It was interesting, and the time went very quickly. Also, I appreciated the learning tools after the session so we can refer back when needed. 2024-08-16

Very clear, concise, useful, and informative. 2025-04-02

Very easy to understand. Tony is a fantastic instructor, and I love his stories, especially the last story where he shared about the forged marriage certificate. The concept of controller and processor was a good starting point, and I like how he shared the other concepts very clearly. Opened up my eyes to a whole new world of data privacy and GDPR. I think Tony shows dedication, enthusiasm, and passion in what he teaches with the utmost professionalism that upholds the brand and the integrity of the ABI. 2025-03-28

Value for money and informative.  Excellent knowledge. 2025-03-28

Really good. Tony covered a lot of ground and has a very personable delivery style. Reading the code was a bit dry and difficult to understand but Tony simplified it really well. 2025-03-04

Excellent, interesting and engaging. Clear and forthcoming when questions were asked. 2025-04-02

The presentation was engaging and relevant with a good mixture of conversation and visual aids. The combination of the pre-course reading and the course itself has equipped me with the knowledge and tools I will need in my business. 2025-03-28

Well organised. Tony presented very well across the Zoom platform and made this subject so much more understandable and relevant than I thought possible.  I don't think it could be improved. Fantastic workshop in terms of content and presentation. 2025-03-04

Very clear and easy to understand. Extremely valuable. Provided great information and useful, which helped with a clear understanding. Provided answers to questions and good insight. 2025-02-07

Good clear presentation covering all the relevant topics pertaining to the course in detail.
Clear explanations throughout the presentation with frequent Q & A.
Excellent, the course provided me with some very relevant information and some helpful guidance on how to ensure I remain compliant. I thought I had a good working knowledge of GDPR and data protection, but actually having completed the course, I now realise I was lacking in a number of areas, so this was very educational.
Tony, is an experienced investigator and an open and knowledgeable presenter who has taken a lot of time to put together a course that would be beneficial to anyone in the profession.
Overall, I thought the course was spot on. It is difficult for many professional investigators to take time (or find time) from their busy schedules, but this course was worth the sacrifice. 2025-02-07

Very well presented, easy to understand. Clear slides and clear information presented seemed to have a comprehensive knowledge of topic they were delivering. 2025-02-07

Well presented with good use of slides and video. As a refresher with added content, it was a useful session.
I was reluctant to take this workshop for the second time; in the end, I felt that my understanding had improved, and my business will benefit from reviewing my processes. 2025-02-07

Tony encouraged all pupils to interact and discuss. Using the visual questions and information was perfect for the relevant topic. Tony was confident, comfortable, and convincing. He used clear and concise language and did not overwhelm us with too much information.
Improved my memory function (refreshing), will improve future projects, etc.
Tony had great product knowledge and was able to answer any questions comfortably and honestly. I found no problems from start to finish. 2024-12-12

Thank you so much for the training; I am really glad that I attended. I hope that I can retain the information I learned. Tony did an excellent job; I learned a ton; it was personally very helpful to me. Tony was extremely clear and patient. 2024-12-12

This course covered all bases of best practice for GDPR compliance. I would also attend an advanced course formed of (real life) case studies to ensure continuous professional development and best practice. Tony's unparalleled knowledge of UK Data Protection Compliance is shared on this course together with his vision to inspire all professional investigators to develop best practice tools within their business. The law was delivered in easy to follow steps with Tony's interaction keeping everyone alert, ensuring a 100% pass rate for the test at the end of the course! 2025-01-22

The quality of the presentation was excellent and well supported with real life scenarios which make a complicated subject much easier to grasp. This training is essential for any practitioner. Tony knows this subject back to front he's the architect behind it.  I suspect his knowledge and how it applies to the Investigatve sector is unparalleled. Not an improvement but there is a lot to be packed into a short period of time. I don't know how you get around it. It is always worth investing in yourself this workshop should be viewed by practitioners as essential for Professional Investigators, even those who do not wish to align with the ABI UK GDPR Code of Conduct and be Code Members. 2025-01-22

The presentation was delivered with clarity and precision. Complex concepts related to data protection were explained in a way that was accessible to all the participants, regardless of their level of expertise. The learning value of the presentation was outstanding. Overall, the ABI UK GDPR workshop was of excellent quality, I enjoyed it very much. 2024-04-13

I found the workshop to be very informative. The workshop provided me with specific hands-on skills. The workshop was well-paced, clear, and concise. 2024-11-30

The presentation was clear, and Tony delivered the content well with a good understanding of the topic and real-world examples. The course was clearly set out and delivered in an engaging manner. Without a doubt, a valuable course and would recommend it to anyone in our industry. Tony was well versed in the topic and very passionate about it, which added to delivering the content. 2024-12-12

Excellent overall presentation. Very clear, with lots of examples and explanations. Great workshop, and the 6 hours flew by. 2024-08-16

I attended my 4th workshop on 16 Nov 2024. I’m glad I did because it served as a very useful refresher and I can see how GDPR is evolving. The workshop is presented really well, and because other participants are present, it is most helpful (and fun at times) to debate scenarios, work out the best practices, identify the booby traps, and see common mistakes close up.
Whether or not any investigator chooses to become a code member, they’ll 100% benefit from the workshop as a tool to keep them away from trouble when handling personal data. I can read up on it, I can seek training elsewhere, BUT the workshop is tailor-made for me as an ABI member, in a room with my peers and well within my comfort zone. 2024-11-16

Good clarification on points, highly valuable - I learnt a lot even though it was my third time on the course! 2024-11-30

Easy to understand with the right level of detail required  Very clear. I left the course feeling I had a much better understanding of my role and responsibilities. 2024-11-16

Attending the ABI GDPR Workshop was invaluable. The course provided clear, practical guidance on GDPR compliance in terms of the role of the private sector investigator, enabling me to understand and navigate data privacy regulations confidently. The presenters expertise and real-world examples made the concepts easy to understand, and the interactive sessions helped us apply GDPR principles directly to cases we are regularly asked to undertake. Highly recommended for any private sector investigator looking to strengthen data protection practices! 2024-10-19

Easy to understand and follow along. Great zoom quality. Excellent. I learnt new information I can immediately use in my business and current tasks. This is my first course with the ABI and this has given me good encouragement that any further courses will be just as valuable. 2024-11-16
