Pathway to Chartered Director
You will likely find your director roles challenging and rewarding in equal measure and committing to achieving Chartered status will build the knowledge, skills and mind set required to increase your confidence and leverage your credibility as a director.
Chartered Director status signals that you are committed to your role and the contribution you make as a director or leader of your organisation.
There are three stages to becoming an IoD Chartered Director and in this session, you will be introduced to each level comprehensively.
-
Stage 1: Certificate in Company Direction
-
Stage 2: Diploma in Company Direction
-
Stage 3: Chartered Director Assessment and Status
The IoD is the only institute in the world to offer qualifications for directors under the Royal Charter. Whether you are an experienced director or new in the role, this programme will help you develop your skills and build the confidence you need to achieve your full potential and contribute at the highest level.
“I initially wondered if the programme was the right fit for someone with my public service background. However, I couldn’t have been more impressed with the training quality and emphasis on engaging with leaders from diverse backgrounds was a game-changer.” Umer Khan OBE Commander, Operations & Security, City of London Police
