On each occasion he has fully met our expectations and has successfully enabled a multi disciplinary audience to understand complex legislation so that as an organisation we are able to fulfil our duties.

Thank you very much" Lynn Wheatley, Cheltenham Borough Council

"It was a pleasure to have Ibrahim Hasan visit The Countryside Council for Wales to deliver a Public Interest Test training day. The session was aimed at the Chief Executive, Directors and the Access to Information Team. Ibrahim kept the day interesting with a good presentation and answers to all our questions. He delivered the information in an easy and understandable way, which was enjoyable to all. Ibrahim was friendly, approachable and the case studies he produced were excellent. CCW have gained a lot of knowledge from the day and would like to thank Ibrahim for his expertise."

'Ibrahim's in-house training on surveillance law & RIPA was both informative and entertaining. He brought a very dry subject to life, whilst at the same time ensuring that everyone left with a greater understanding of the topic. Excellent feedback was received from all those who attended. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ibrahim. This was money well spent.” Adrian Stanfield, Legal Services Manager, Sevenoaks District Council"A very enjoyable course. Presented in a well structured manner allowing for interaction. One of the best courses I have attended for a long time. Paul Simpkins is an excellent trainer who is to be recommended.
