Your information

When you share information with us using our online forms, i.e. by registering on one of our courses, we use this information to register you with our official awarding bodies who are regulated by Ofqual, in so doing, we can provide our Awarding Body (Highfield Awarding Body for Compliance - HABC) your details and success on our courses so that they can award you your official certificate.

By providing your details on our newsletter subscription forms, this allows us to communicate with you to provide information with our news updates, course details, jobs and networking events.

What information we hold

The information we hold will depend on what form you complete on our site. For instance:

  1. Course registration forms (CRF)

We ask for your personal contact information such as; name, address, phone number, email address, date of birth, special needs if any, (this is non-obligatory information but may prejudice your success on our course if not disclosed as we may need to apply to our awarding body for special considerations for you). We also ask for your “Consent” to record and keep this information, this requires your physical input (agreement) by selecting the “I agree” option on our forms prior to submitting the form. To satisfy GDPR that we obtain physical consent from you, we have also added a consent verifier element on our CRF, which requires a code (sent to you by email) to be added to the form.

You also have the option to complete a paper registration form on your first day on our course. This paper form asks for the same information as above and will be entered manually and electronically by us on our Awarding Body’s Server

Once you have completed your course and you have been issued with your certificate, we delete your information except for your name, email address and your certificate renewal date. We keep this information so that we can let you know (remind you) that your certificate is due to expire (usually 3 years after your certificate award date) and provide you with certificate renewal options or when replacing “lost” certificates. This remaining information also allows us to send you any updates regarding your training should they be amended by the Resuscitation Council UK or our Ofqual regulated Awarding Bodies

  1. Course Assessment Papers (CAP)

Having attended one of our courses, you will have completed a theoretical assessment paper, which will be scanned and kept on our server. we must hold this information for three years in the event the Awarding Body should query your paper during their regular External Quality Assurance (EQA) visits/assessments of our training centre. All hard copy paperwork will be destroyed (shredded)

  1. News Letter Subscriptions (NLS)

In this instance, you are only asked for your name, email address and any news preferences you have regarding content we send to you. You will always find an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of our newsletters, when, if clicked will unsubscribe you and delete all your newsletter subscription information in its entirety. The system always lets us know by email immediately when someone unsubscribes, this allows us to check the mailing list that your details have been removed, if this is not the case, we will remove your data manually, which is very simple to do. In any event, you will always get an email stating that you have been unsubscribed from our mailing list.

Where we hold your information

Depending on the forms you complete on our website this will dictate where we store your information:

Course registration details are stored in a spreadsheet, which is held on our secure Google Drive. Any hard copy versions are destroyed (shredded) after we have uploaded your details. As stated earlier, once your certificate has been issued, we delete most of that information from the online spreadsheet except for your name, email and course completion date.

Course assessment papers are scanned and stored on our secure online storage platform. Once uploaded, the hard copies are destroyed (shredded). As stated above, we must keep your assessment papers for three years after which duration they are deleted from our server, having satisfied our Awarding Body during their External Quality Assessment audit that all paperwork is correct and conforms with their compliance policies. The only details relative to you on assessment records are your name and the date of the assessment.

News letter subscription information is stored on MailChimp (our newsletter mailing service provider) platform. As stated, the information stored there is minimal and consists of your name, email address and newsfeed preferences.
