Thank you Nasia. Lovely to meet you. Good luck with everything!
When it is as best
Promptly and timely answers to all question prior the course. Travel wise they recommend a Hotel ten minutes walk from where the course was held.
Excellent selection of tutor (sempai) for the course. A close setting with enough participants to have discussions and sharing experiences and yet not to many.
I give Specialist Hub my strong recommendation.

One of the best trainings ever
The training was by far one of the best I’ve had. The venue was spectacular, the training content (trainer) was perfect and well delivered, and last but not the least, the price was unbeatable. Thanks very much Specialist Hub, I will always recommend

ISO27001 Training Manchester
The ISO 27001 Lead Implementor Training was excellent. The 4-day course content was very easy to follow due to the clearly thought out structure. The trainer clearly understands your challenges if you are new to the ISO Standards, and always had a useful and relevant real-world example to reference. The course material was tailored and suitable for both beginners and experienced IT professionals.
The venue was fantastic. The training room was clean, bright and had air conditioning. The food was of restaurant quality and tea and coffee available all day long.
