Key Benefits

Digital-first governance course

This isn’t just an adaptation of a classroom course. It’s made specifically for online learning. Do the whole course from your phone, tablet or laptop, wherever you are. Enjoy interactive multimedia lessons that really let you explore the topics organically and learn at your own pace.

Exclusive insights from experienced directors

This unique course has been reviewed and edited by leading subject matter experts and governance professionals. You’ll also get exclusive bite-sized interviews with experienced directors from a variety of different board backgrounds, from community clubs to international corporations.

Feel confident and ready for your role on the board

This Governance Professional Series course will provide you with the basics you need to feel confident and prepared for your position as a director. From the concept of governance to the details of the activities and responsibilities you’ll take on, this course is an overview of basics that all board members in Australia have in common.

It's a bit different

It’s a bit different to some other courses you might have done in the past. It’s designed to answer the most urgent and important questions you have about directorship. Questions you’re probably asking people already (or Googling) about being on a board. Instead of having to put things together from separate topics (‘Law’, ‘Ethics’, ‘Procedures’, etc.), you get the answers you need in a more practical format. It’s a different way of doing things, but we reckon you’ll love it.
