Diploma in Company Direction
The next stage in your development as a chartered director.
The Diploma in Company Direction is a Masters level (SCQF) qualification and the second stage in our Chartered Director Programme, with a focus on developing your board performance. Three days of practical, simulated boardroom challenges in a safe environment will set you up for the diploma examination and have an immediate impact on your performance as a director.
Objectives
Our Diploma in Company Direction is designed to build on the knowledge gained from the Certificate in Company Direction and boost your expertise and confidence as a director. The diploma will give you:
- an understanding of your board’s role, its dynamic, power, influence and conflicts
- an insight into key topics such as risk and crisis management, decision-making, and mergers and acquisitions
- access to techniques and tools to improve your own competencies and evaluate the performance of your board
Benefits
The Diploma in Company Direction is an internationally-recognised qualification. Using the latest real-world scenarios and insights, the course encourages peer learning, challenge and reflective practice. Course content is designed by directors for directors.
