Advanced Directors' Course

Course description

The ADC is governance rewired for exceptional directors – you will be exposed to cutting edge governance thought leadership that focusses on real-world issues and challenges. This course has been created for skilled directors as a progression after completing the Company Directors’ Course.

The curriculum focuses on three key themes - board leadership, cultural intelligence and climate awareness, and each day focusses on a different facet of being a director - you, your board and practical governance. We offer a fully immersive learning opportunity, which allows for greater connection with your cohort and the highly experienced directors that will be leading you through this course.

* What is a qualifying organisation?

A qualifying organisation has separate executive and governance functions, in the opinion of our council. For example, a qualifying corporation would have, in the council’s opinion, a meaningful separation of the roles of senior managers from those of members of the board of directors.

The organisation’s size and sector do not matter – not-for-profit, school, and trust board members can qualify.
