Non-Executive Directors' Programme

Very informative and useful. All speakers were very enjoyable! Thank you.

When I enrolled for the course I was very keen to gain a full understanding of the NED role, with specific focus on Corporate Governance. As a new NED I recognised during the period between enrolling and actually attending the course my interpretation of what a NED should be doing was very much not aligned to any specific guidance. As such, the course couldn’t come soon enough – it was clear I needed help, and that is what I received… in abundance.

The pre-course administration was excellent – I received all the information I needed in a timely manner, especially the case studies that formed the pre-course reading. From the moment it started the course content was evidently first class and this was matched by two instructors (Giles and Simon) who are without doubt experts in their field. Their anecdotal input to the training made the course much more realistic.

For me, the objectives of the course were absolutely met – I now fully understand what I should be doing and the Corporate Governance element of the course really helped. Likewise, I met some great people who also attended the training – a good network of contacts as I venture further into the world of a NED.

A big ‘thank you’ to everyone – a fantastic course which I thoroughly enjoyed and strongly recommend.
