Program features

High quality, current materials

The course is delivered over 5 consecutive days. Participants are provided with pre-reading and some time is set aside during the program for study. Total time commitment with pre-reading, course attendance and assessment is approximately 110 hours with 30 hours face to face sessions.
The course experience is enhanced by facilitated discussions, the questions participants ask, the conversations held during breaks and the offsite dinners, as well as the comprehensive course manuals that provide a great reference for later use.

Assessment
Not every participant chooses to be assessed. However, the International Company Directors Course Diploma and the ability to use the GAICD post-nominals (if you choose to become a member) are only available to those who successfully complete the exam and the assignment.
