The Act Now FOI Practitioner Certificate is the qualification for those wishing to acquire detailed knowledge of FOI and related information access legislation in a practical context.

The course has been designed by leading FOI experts including Ibrahim Hasan and Susan Wolf, formerly a senior lecturer on the University of Northumbria's LLM in Information Rights Law.

WHY THIS COURSE IS DIFFERENT?

• An emphasis on the practical application of FOI rather than just learning dry law;
• Lots of real life case studies and exercises;
• An emphasis on drafting Refusal Notices;
• An online Resources Lab with links, guidance and over 10 hours of videos; and
• Modern assessment methods rather than a closed book exam.
