Testimonials

Facing into five days intensive training in Data Protection seemed daunting. It was anything but. The course is specifically designed to meet the practical needs of DPOs and DP teams. It was delivered at a pace which facilitates both learning and discussion, it was informative and engaging throughout. I highly recommend Ruth Hallinan’s DPO training course to others in the Public and Civil sectors.

Dr Ruth-Blandina Quinn / Information Governance Manager, Mental Health Commission

Ruth’s wealth of knowledge and experience is invaluable to any organisation aiming for GDPR and data protection compliance.  She instills not only the theory but more importantly outlines practical, applicable steps to implement at every level of the organisation.  Whether it be staff training or the provision of a course I can highly recommend Ruth after having first-hand experience of her expertise.

Roslyn Dalton / Legal & Corporate Services, Law Reform Commission

I found the Government DPO course extremely useful; Ruth was extremely knowledgeable and very clear in her points with a good level of interaction.  The content and discussion suited the audience very well. Four of the team also attended Ruth’s training in recent times and the feedback is very positive from all; I would definitely recommend this course to others.
