Freedom of Information courses

Pinsent Masons offers training on the Freedom of Information Act and the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act. Our training covers the Information Systems Examination Board (ISEB) syllabus in Freedom of Information.

Although the full set of courses has been designed to enable those attending to take the examination leading to the ISEB Certificate in Freedom of Information (FOI), the courses are also suitable for those who do not wish to take the examination but who just need to know specific areas of FOI legislation.

FOI Courses are held at our offices in London, Glasgow, Manchester and Leeds.

The courses provide introductory training and an overview of the FOI arena; offer a comprehensive and practical grounding in FOI; and enable practitioners to focus on particular areas such as exemptions or the regulations which pertain to access to environmental information.

The courses can be booked either as individual courses or as a block, but please note that if there is a heavy demand for places then preference will be given to those who are seeking the ISEB qualification.
