Cailey Smith

Rob was an excellent trainer he kept the content very engaging and gave lots of opportunities for conversations and questions.

Shoref Rahman

Rob was very engaging and instigated interesting talk tracks through the sessions. He was very knowledgeable about the course and related topics. Always took time to explain things again when delegates had questions or were unsure about any of the material. We also experienced some logistical challenge for which Rob provided hands on support.

Martyn Jackson

The trainer was very knowledgable and experienced in the subject matter and delivered the course extremely well, although he did not seem well briefed by knowledge academy regarding how the course arrandance was structured, once this was clarified the course went very well

Chaithra V

The instructor delivered the ISO 27001 training in a clear and structured manner. The concepts were explained well, making complex topics easier to understand. The instructor was knowledgeable and addressed questions effectively. Overall, the training was engaging and informative. Including more real-life case studies or interactive discussions could further enhance the learning experience. I would like to suggest that it would be good to have multiple mock sessions instead of single mock session.

Liz Wilson

Very helpful and nice, he explained well
