Book a call today.

English is not my first language. Can I still enrol in your courses?

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. 

How do I access the learning materials on a course?

Once you’re enrolled on a course, you’ll receive a welcome email with information about getting started, including your login details to the self-paced corporate governance training platform. The learning platform contains all your delegate information, learning materials and assessments information to avail of flexible learning in corporate governance.

What kind of support can I expect from the Corporate Governance Institute when I’m doing my course?

From the moment you show interest in one of our courses and/or membership, up until you finish your diploma or corporate leadership certification, we will be with you at every stage. We’ll help you understand our courses and membership offering, how to get started with self-paced corporate governance training, 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 digital governance training, please feel free to email us at [email protected] and we will do our best to help you.

How will I achieve my corporate leadership qualification?

Each of our online governance courses includes an assessment element.

Each of our diploma level certifications has two assessments and our advanced professional certificates, professional certificates and certificates each have 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 of your digital governance training. They have been created to last no more than 90 minutes each and usually take the format of multiple choice style questions

Are all course materials only available online or are hard copies available?

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

Can I directly connect with the faculty or experts?

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. We also encourage all delegates to become members of The Corporate Governance Institute, where they can network directly with governance experts worldwide.

What is the difference between being a delegate of the institute and being a member?

  • You become a delegate when you enrol on one of our diploma or certificate courses. As a delegate, you get access to all the learning materials and assessments for your course. If you successfully complete your online governance course, you’ll become a qualified delegate of the institute.
  • You become a member when you join The Corporate Governance Institute’s membership community.

We don’t issue physical certificates when you complete your online governance course. However, you’ll receive a digital copy of your certificate by email. This can be easily shared with your network on LinkedIn.

How can I share my qualifications on LinkedIn?

When you receive your digital certificate by email, there are clear instructions on how to share it with your LinkedIn network. It’s a great way to let your network know about your achievement.

Will I get any career support from the Corporate Governance Institute?

The Corporate Governance Institute provides many avenues for you to progress in your career. We regularly organise free webinars on governance related topics which are hosted by world-class experts in their field.

In addition to webinars, if you become a member of the institute you’ll be able to access many benefits that will help progress your leadership and advance your boardroom career. For example, members can attend regular masterclasses with global governance experts which take an in-depth look at real world governance matters. Masterclasses also include an invaluable opportunity to network with peers and experts which is a great way to progress your career.

Do I become a graduate of the Corporate Governance Institute or the university that has given the credit rating of the diploma?
