IN-HOUSE GOVERNANCE DEVELOPMENT

Strong governance creates strong boards.

The AICD is the leading provider of governance development programs in Australia, with the flagship Company Directors Course™ respected as the Australian benchmark in contemporary governance education. In addition to the Company Directors Course (and the introductory Foundations of Directorship™ Program), the AICD also offers short courses designed to cover governance fundamentals and sector specific governance development, as well as engage with topical and emerging issues.

Widely recognised as the benchmark in Australian governance education, the Company Directors Course will elevate your board’s understanding, and practise, of good governance principles.

The course offers participants the opportunity to build their skills in a collaborative environment, resulting in a shared appreciation of the contemporary governance issues confronting Australian boards, and how to appropriately manage them. 

Of course, governance requirements can differ between sectors and industries. Board Advance matches course facilitators with your organisation to ensure a meaningful learning experience, with relevant insights and case studies.

A strong and united board requires strong foundations, and the Foundations of Directorship program provides exactly that.

This introduction to the main components of professional directorship (governance, finance, strategy and risk), is an invaluable education for all new and aspiring directors, managers and senior executives.

Specific content has also been formulated to address the governance needs of the public sector, small to medium enterprises, cooperatives, mutual enterprises, sporting and Indigenous organisations.

Covering both governance and broader market topics, these interactive courses leverage the AICD’s proprietary research, advocacy work and extensive experience to deliver valuable insights and learnings to your board.

Short courses (many available virtually) are facilitated by subject matter experts, helping promote practical discussion and shared understanding amongst participants.

Some of the more popular course topics include the board’s role in cyber governance and culture, applied risk, boardroom responsibilities and board reporting, as well as specific content suited to NFP governance and governing to protect vulnerable people.
