I am not having a go at ISEB, nor at qualifications in general. I just don't
like the inference that the particular DPO did or said anything wrong, or
that just any ISEB qualified person would be in a better position to advise in
that particular case. Nor did I like the inference that that DPO's knowlege was
less than yours (or that of any other person who had been through that
course) because he was trained by me. Hopefully this was not Chris's intention, but
that's the impression it gave me.
I'm not sure whether I will get an apology or even whether I deserve one, but
I do have clients without ISEB who can knock spots off some who do. And (to
try to retain some semblance of balance) vice versa. I also know a few people
with ISEB who wouldn't dare argue with Legal Services.
