Yes. However, all our courses are delivered in English, so you need to be proficient in English to get the most out of your course. You’re not required to submit any qualifications or certifications related to your level of proficiency in English. 

Once you’re enrolled on a course, you’ll receive a welcome email with information about getting started, including your login details to the learning platform. The learning platform contains all your delegate information, learning materials and assessments information.

From the moment you show interest in one of our courses and/or membership, up until you finish your diploma or certificate, we will be with you at every stage. We’ll help you understand our courses and membership offering, how to get started, and answer any queries you may have along the way. Our teams are very supportive and always there to help you. If you need support choosing a course or while you’re taking a course, please feel free to email us at [email protected] and we will do our best to help you.

Each of our courses includes an assessment element. 

  • For the Diploma in Corporate Governance there are three assessments
  • For the Diploma in Environmental, Social and Governance there are two assessments
  • For certificate courses there is one assessment

You need to pass all assessments to receive your qualification. In the case of the diplomas, this qualification is university credit-rated.

You’ll complete your assessments online, at a time that suits you, using our assessment platform. Once you enrol on a course, you’ll receive detailed instructions on how and when you’re eligible to attempt your assessments. 

The assessment questions are based on the course materials. You will be well prepared to take the assessments once you’ve familiarised yourself with the content. They have been created to last no more than 90 minutes each and usually take the format of multiple choice style questions.

We don’t provide any books or hardcopies. All learning materials are available online, some of which you can download or print.

We encourage you to network with our experts and faculty members. If there’s an expert you’d like to connect with, please feel free to contact them on LinkedIn and start a conversation. They will be delighted to connect with our delegates.
