Great Course - Highly recommended

Very informative and interactive, all the relevant information is in there, a short "friendly" assessment after each lesson to keep you entertained and help you refresh what you just learnt!

I am really pleased I took the course and went through the provided materials. It is very well structured from the start to finish. The modules and the context is exceptionally informative, engaging and insightful. The communication and feedback on submitted materials from the lead trainer Benjamin was also top class and very prompt. Thank you for delivering such a valuable course for people who are looking to start in this field!

Foundation Data Analytics for Counter Fraud professionals

I've recently completed the Foundation Data Analytics with PDA and Cifas, and I couldn't be happier. It's a very well constructed course, and the direction and help from PDA whenever I've had quesitons or tech issues has been fantastic. I'm already looking at what else I can sign up to with them.

Great course! Brilliant insight into document fraud

I recently completed the digital document fraud course. Very interesting course. It was a great insight into document fraud and a good first step for someone like myself who hasn't done a lot of fraud training. Would recommend the course to other who are interested in looking into a career in counter fraud or interested in expanding their knowledge in the field.

Good value for money for learning about document fraud

I took the course on document fraud and would definitely recommend it to others who are also working in a counter fraud or compliance type role. It gives a good clear and concise overview of how to spot fraudulent documents and the assignments were pitched at the right level. The instructor was also very helpful and responsive whenever I had any questions about the course content.

Human Support

The course is technical, however, support is always available from the instructor who is very friendly. This makes the course much more accessible due to quick feedback and explanations.

Fantastic course

Fantastic course! Just what I was looking for. The content is complex yet broken down easy enough to understand. The support was amazing from Benjamin, any questions I asked was answered and had guidance the whole way through when required! Will be looking at other course with PDA.

Comprehensive and Engaging

I took the Digital Document Fraud course with PDA and couldn't recommend it highly enough! The course was comprehensive whilst also being engaging and easy to digest and the content never once felt dry despite being quite a technical subject. There were lots of great examples and practical tasks throughout and whenever I had any questions, the instructor Benjamin was just an email away and took great care to patiently help me through any parts I found challenging. An excellent course!
