How does the online aspect work?
The IoD Certificate in Company Direction provides directors with the knowledge that will help them to perform their duties effectively. It provides tools and techniques to examine the key responsibilities of directors.
This accelerated option combines online learning with an intensive face-to-face group workshop. The online elements are delivered via our specially-developed web-based learning tool, the Learning Zone. Participants are monitored as they study, at their convenience and often from their own home or office.
Comprehensive information on each topic is provided, together with a range of activities designed to support the learning. Once the pre-course online elements* are complete, participants come together for a five-day intensive workshop** with our expert course.
