CPD
A week long course to develop your governance skills and create a significant step change in your professional performance.
In the week-long CDC course you explore the director's roles and responsibilities with other directors. Each day you participate in board simulation exercises, bringing to life case studies that highlight the unpredictable nature of business and the human nature of directorship.
This is a one week course.
The residential format of CDC includes accommodation. Most of our CDC participants choose the residential option, even if they reside in the same city as the course delivery.
If you do not require accommodation, the non-residential CDC format may be more suitable. The course content is the same for both formats.
Sunday 3.00pm to Friday 3.00pm
