Categories of Personal Data and Sources
We collect personal data directly from you when you complete forms or correspond with us. Categories include identity information such as name, contact details including email address and telephone number, professional information such as job title and organisation, and technical data such as IP address and browser type collected automatically through server logs.
Purposes of Processing and Legal Basis
We process personal data to respond to enquiries and manage course bookings under the legal basis of contract performance. We also process data to send service updates and marketing communications where you have provided consent. Compliance with legal obligations forms the basis for retaining records required by UK tax and company law. Legitimate interests allow us to improve website functionality and prevent fraud.
Whether Providing Data Is Required
Supplying contact information is necessary to receive responses to enquiries or to complete course enrolment. Failure to provide this data will prevent us from delivering the requested service or communicating further.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to enable essential functions and analyse usage. Details of the specific cookies deployed and your choices regarding them are set out in our separate Cookie Policy, which is accessible via the site-wide cookie banner.
Processors, Recipients and Disclosures Required by Law
We engage carefully selected service providers such as hosting companies, email delivery platforms and payment processors who act as processors under our instructions. Personal data may also be disclosed to regulators or law enforcement agencies where required by applicable UK legislation.
International Transfers
Some of our service providers are located outside the United Kingdom. In such cases we rely on UK adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office to protect your data.
Retention Periods
Enquiry records are retained for two years after the last contact. Course enrolment and payment records are kept for six years to meet tax and accounting requirements. Marketing consent records are retained until consent is withdrawn.
Security and Data Minimisation
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access or loss. Data collection is limited to what is strictly necessary for the stated purposes.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Requests should be sent to [email protected]. We will respond within one month.

You may withdraw consent for marketing at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting [email protected]. You also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Right to Complain to the Supervisory Authority
If you are dissatisfied with our handling of your personal data you may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority.
