Benefits of using an E-file:
- It cuts down your treatment time, meaning more profit
- You can create a more thorough prep & refinement

In-House Training provides tailored training solutions delivered at a location of your choice. Whether you need data protection training, FOI compliance training, anti-bribery training or records management skills training, we can develop a course to fit your needs.
All PDP’s training courses shown on this website can be provided for your staff at your own premises or at a location of your choice. Additionally, we can tailor or create a course to suit the exact needs of your organisation.
The advantages of In-House training
Choosing an In-House version of one of our training courses will be more economical where several members of your staff will be attending the session.
You also benefit from having a PDP Trainer ‘to yourselves’ for the day, at your own premises – the Trainer can ‘confidentially’ answer questions relating to the specific compliance needs of your organisation.
Choosing an In-House training solution means that you are in control of the schedule – you choose the start time and duration of the session to suit your needs.
A further advantage of choosing an In-House training session is that your staff will not incur the travel costs associated with attending a ‘public’ session.
