Participants can obtain a Board Executive Certificate in Directorship by completing the first three modules or continue to obtain a full Accredited Diploma in Directorship by completing all six core modules successfully, with the option to take up module 7 as an elective. The modules can be taken non-sequentially in a period of 24-36 months, providing scheduling flexibility. The first three modules are especially catered to C-suites and senior executives who desire to acquire the foundational knowledge required to prepare themselves to become board directors.Learning methodsEach module relies heavily on peer learning and the collective intelligence and experience of the participants.
