“The CGI Diploma is a great new qualification by a new organisation full of energy and fresh ideas. The workload over 10 weeks was just right with three hours on a Tuesday and a debate on that content for an hour on the Thursday. The lecturers were all very good and come from factory floor, day to day, real world Irish businesses. We were also blessed with some real world governance issues which hit the headlines during the course. Like all courses of this type, the networking with your cohort is a big aspect of the course. In summary, the Diploma is pitched at the right level, at the right time and you are supported by a very energetic team in CGI. Really glad I did it.”

“CGI membership – It’s so important for me as a CEO of a company, and also as a Director on the board. The most valuable part for me is being able to access knowledge, training and best practices in terms of corporate governance and effective leadership. The resources are relevant to my area and I find this hugely beneficial.”

“The Diploma in Corporate Governance was excellent covering all matters of Governance including Finance, Risk, Culture and ESG. It was an eye opener for me and I learnt an immense amount from the course and tutors. It was very professionally run with excellent tutors and speakers. I would highly recommend to everyone who is looking to join Boards or who simply want to improve their knowledge in this area.”

“A great foundation in CG, David, Rhea, Aayushi and all of the lecturers gave a great course. The course demonstrates that becoming a board member is not for the faint hearted. A diverse board with drive, the specific skills to the business can really implement change, directly impacting the bottom line. For me, the diploma brought together many fragmented and some incorrect views I had about the functionality of boards and the level of diversity required to successfully run a company. Continuous challenge and honest performance monitoring against the business strategy are one of the key ingredients to ensuring alignment of the business.”

“I would highly recommend the C.G.I. Diploma in Corporate Governance. The Lecturers are insightful SME’s and the modules are intriguing. I took the 12 week option to complete the course which I could balance with work and optimize my learning.”

“The Corporate Governance Diploma course with The Corporate Governance Institute was excellent overall. The quality of the lectures and the lecturers was top
class and the content was relevant and pitched at the right level. What made it for me was the cohort of my fellow students and the excellent opportunity to network. I wholly recommend this to anyone sitting on a Board or with aspirations to become a Non-Executive Director”.
