• The course is well designed taking a 360 approach to GDPR with lectures (delivered by extremely capable lecturers) covering the legal, technological and practical aspects of GDPR compliance. The schedule is also tailored to the professional lifestyle with lectures conveniently scheduled.
  Paul Caruana Turner (October 2019)
• This is the second course I have done with LEAD in a year. The professional course from the technical assignment to the scenario based examination, coupled with the fact that the lecturers are practitioners giving practical examples, makes the whole experience worth to any Data Protection Officer.

• Training services & programs are the best and trainers are very professional. Thank you very much!
  Janice Alfaro (September 2019)
• A practical, informative and comprehensive take on the General Data Protection Regulation. Definitely recommended for professionals working in the field of compliance and/or data protection in Malta!
  Roxanne Meilak Borg (April 2019)
• Course was very comprehensive, well-applied to the real business world, and lecturers were knowledgeable in their areas, and able to answer specific questions in detail. Details on assessment and expectations of course were provided somewhat late in the day, but this could be attributed to the fact that the course was in its first run, and the criteria still had to be specifically established. Would recommend.
