We are strongly committed to protecting the users of our online applications to ensure personal information is protected. We want to contribute to providing a safe and secure environment for users and their information. This Privacy Policy describes what information we gather using this site and what we do with that information. This policy covers both the course provider and service provider, see our Terms & Conditions for further qualification of these terms.

  1. We will use the information you give us, and information arising from our dealings with you ('personal data') to enable us to perform our obligations to you. We may also anonymously analyse your personal data, for example, to help commission more targeted courses in the future.

  2. We will comply with our statutory obligations in relation to your personal data, and we will not pass on any 'sensitive data' (as defined in the Data Protection Act 1998) without your prior consent. However, it may be necessary to pass on course uptake information to a governing body. If this happens the course provider will only pass on the minimum details that are required to fulfil the request.

  3. You have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data, and to correct any mistakes.
