What people are saying about Web Shield's training programs and conferences.

Online courses

"We’ve been working with Web Shield as a training provider for some years and think that these online courses are a super addition to their curriculum. They are especially helpful for new joiners, refresher training and staff working in smaller offices, where we’d ordinarily have to fly them out to attend a training course."

Stanley Skoglund

Co-founder & Director, Minerva

Online courses

"The Merchant Acceptance and Underwriting course is clearly structured and all topics included are well explained. There is a good balance between theory and case studies."

Jelica Rajković

Client Onboarding Manager, ThePayPortal

RiskConnect conference

"This organisation and this particular skill that these people have, is one of the most interesting things in speaking I have ever encountered"

Carl Bernstein

Pulitzer Prize winning Journalist

Online courses

"Great way to deliver this course content. Even for an old hand, who knew that learning as an adult in the multi-media age with animations, videos, online quizzes and so forth could be fun as well as professionally beneficial?"

Kevin Smith

Director, Riskskill

RiskConnect conference

"There have been some great speakers, some great topics, it's very interactive. I think that's fantastic. Bringing together risk professionals in the way it is being done here is hugely positive - and I think we should see more of this sort of thing."

Brian Kinch

Jolly Consulting

Online courses

"It is very good. It is great for beginners and it explains different topics quite well. I also like that each chapter/section is not very long so you can totally manage the speed you want to go through it and easily find any topic you want to listen to again."
