Professional Director Series

The IoD is committed to supporting lifelong learning opportunities with a variety of continuous professional development (CPD) including our Professional Director Series. This series helps you and your board keep up-to-date through regular workshops where business leaders share insights on a wide range of current, relevant topics. Delivered via virtual classrooms, the series offers accessible, digestible CPD mapped to our Director Competency Framework. These workshops provide new information, development activities, identify knowledge gaps and help refresh your skills and knowledge.
