What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Contact forms

We use a contact form so that people can send us emails securely. This gathers your name, email address and country so that we can keep in touch with you and send you relevant information for your area. We hold your information securely on private servers.

We keep contact form submissions for five years for customer service purposes, but we do not use the information submitted through these forms for marketing purposes. We only use this information to reply to messages and to keep the person up to date with information about courses they have enquired about or have expressed an interest in.
