Before you rely on a certificate as an office and administration worker

Your organisation's policy is the detail

Our courses explain the principles. Who to report to, how long to keep a record and which tools you may use are set by your organisation's own policies.

Report first, tidy later

If something goes wrong with information or a suspicious email, tell the right person straight away. Fast reporting helps far more than trying to fix it quietly.
