ISEB Accredited Courses


The ISEB CERTIFICATE IN FREEDOM OF INFORMATION and ISEB CERTIFICATE IN DATA PROTECTION are ideal for those who wish to have their knowledge and expertise recognised through a formal qualification. The courses are designed in such a way as to allow those with a basic knowledge of DP and FOI to benefit and take the exam. Both courses are also accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Institute of Legal Executives.

OUR GUARANTEE: If you attend the entire course (all days) and do not pass the exam, you may attend day 6 (mock exam and revision) and day 7 (revision and exam) again at another Act Now ISEB course for FREE. (The exam fee is still payable to ISEB).
