Course content

Developing board performance -  In this module, you will act as a board member facing a variety of typical issues and crises. The challenge is to apply the knowledge and learning gained from the certificate in company direction courses and e-learning to real life situations. This is your opportunity to put theory into practice. You will receive feedback on your performance as the board reviews and appraises its own impact and effectiveness.

Chartered director - The chartered director qualification assesses the practical experience gained by a director. This is based on 5 key areas which are central to organisational direction and governance. The process is based on a portfolio of evidence which will be explored in the interview. The interviews are conducted by experienced peer reviewers – and generally these will be Chartered Directors.

Cost: £1495 per delegate
