Data We Collect

We may collect identification and contact details, course enquiry information, level screening responses, timetable preferences, enrolment details, payment-related records, attendance information, and communications sent through the website or by other booking methods. Where relevant, we also process information used to prepare a written learning plan, progress summaries, and course materials lists.

The data collected depends on the enquiry, enrolment, and course support steps involved.
