Feedback on the ESG Certification Program
The program offered solid, well‑structured content that was up to date with current reporting requirements and aligned with common corporate ESG practices. The six‑month duration allowed for meaningful learning, and overall the curriculum delivered the foundational knowledge I was looking for.
However, the cost felt relatively high for a fully online program that relied primarily on text-based material and pre‑recorded, AI‑generated videos. To enhance the learning experience and better reflect the investment, I believe the program would benefit from more opportunities for real-time interaction. Incorporating elements such as live sessions with instructors, discussions with ESG professionals, and structured peer engagement would add significant value and help bridge the gap between theory and practical application.

AI Governance certificate
I did the pro cert. in AI Governance. It was comprehensive and well picthed, but it was mainly focused on large scale deployments, so less suited for developing frameworks for more informal/lower level use.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback - we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
The Professional Certificate in AI Governance is designed with a strong focus on board-level oversight and larger-scale organisational deployment. AI is increasingly a strategic and risk-critical issue, and boards are ultimately accountable for how it is governed, deployed, and aligned with long-term organisational value.
We understand that this perspective can feel less directly applicable for more informal or lower-level use cases.
Alongside the programme, we do regularly run AI-focused webinars and expert sessions that explore a broader range of practical applications and emerging topics, including how governance principles can be applied more proportionately across different levels of AI use.
We’ll continue to expand our content in this area, and your feedback is genuinely valuable in helping shape that.
Thank you again for sharing your insights.

Information heavy course that is well explained
This course is information‑heavy, but the content is delivered in clear, bite‑sized modules that make it easy to understand. Each section ends with a helpful knowledge check, which really reinforces learning.
I found the platform straightforward to use, and I appreciated being able to work through the material at my own pace. Highly recommended!

Hi Robert, thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you found the training valuable.
We understand that certain areas of the course such as those relating to climate and sustainability may raise different views. These topics are included not as a reflection of ideology, but because they are central to current governance responsibilities and boardroom expectations.
Our syllabus is developed in consultation with our Governance Advisory Council, made up of experienced board members and industry practitioners. The programme is also university-certified, and regularly reviewed to ensure it reflects evolving regulatory standards, market expectations, and practical realities faced by directors and governance professionals today.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and hope the course continues to support your professional journey.

Good structure and overview
The material and structure is good.
The platform is limited.
While the whole DEI and Environmental focus might be relevant for Europe, it is overdone for the world.
The reference of UK and Ireland is too strong. However the general material is a good curriculum.

Proud to Graduate with Merit from The Corporate Governance Institute
Throughout this year-long journey with The Corporate Governance Institute, I was challenged to think critically, engage with real-world case studies, and collaborate with professionals from diverse industries. The program wasn’t just academic—it was practical, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant to the challenges we face in corporate leadership today.
One of the most rewarding aspects was gaining a broader perspective on how governance impacts organizational culture, decision-making, and long-term sustainability. The discussions around board effectiveness, stakeholder engagement, and ethical leadership were especially impactful.
This experience has not only enhanced my professional capabilities but also reaffirmed my commitment to fostering transparency, accountability, and strategic oversight in every role I undertake.

It’s inspiring to see how you’ve applied the principles of good governance to real-world leadership and continue to champion transparency and accountability. Congratulations on your achievement!
Content was great
Content was great, very holistic and up-to-date.
Materials were easy to access and to consume.
The combination of reading, video, key takeaways and knowledge checks truly helped think and memorize.
What was unusual to me was the mode of learning all by myself and purely online. This worked well for the governance topic. Generally, I prefer interaction and ideally in person.
Having said that, it was really worth it for the diploma!
