Really enjoyed the topics covered and the way that the trainer ran the session

Course - BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection
1. The BCS test exam questions were often incoherent or not related to the syllabus - which appears to be a trait of BCS course and exams 2. the subject matter was taught reading powerpoint slides full of text - the BCS should be providing at least some diagrammatic content and other visual aids especially as many people learn in very different ways - more than just reading text.
