"ESG is a must for the future

"ESG is a must for the future, and I highly recommend undertaking this diploma from The Corporate Governance Institute. The digital content is excellent, with clear explanations and links to valuable resources. The only thing missing for me is the option for more audio versions, which would allow me to listen to the content as well as read it. After a long day at work, I sometimes found it hard to stay focused on reading."

Theoretically alright, not amazing at providing operational skills

The diploma establishes a foundation of different aspects behind ESG development, providing an option to achieve knowledge confidence regarding the field's background. The platform is user-friendly for navigation. Another good thing was the customer and studies support, with relatively fast answers and encouragement.

Room for improvement include the fact that the content was outdated by some few years (which is critical in a fast-paced environment), and the fact that it is purely theoretical. I could not say that it provides hands-on experience with e.g. analyses and reports, nor that it really solves a skill gap in the way that it would had been desired. Provided in formation is often relevant, but rather generally described and pointed out to online resources. The expert interviews can be insightful, yet quite generalist and potentially staged/scripted (at least from the interviewer's end). I could not say that, after having completed the course with distinction, I feel extremely confident about being operational with a competetitve analytical advange in terms of ESG.

I'd recommend this course to someone without previous ESG knowledge looking for a theoretical foundation.

Success in Corporate Governance

I completed this Diploma with flying colours. How? The course used a number of methods of learning, including a case study that ran through the course, videos, text, and quizzes. The content was very visual. The opportunity to do a sample exam was very useful. I learnt a lot, which I have taken into practice. Now I need to find a board who wants me.

Embedding ESG in a corporate strategy starts with the board

I found the support that The Corporate Governance Institute offers throughout the course toward a DipESG to be excellent! The course is outstanding, and I recommend it to anyone aspiring to make ESG an integral part of an organization's strategy.

Amazing support staff-it is difficult to juggle work, pursue the diploma and in my case be a mum. But the amazing staff you have made the whole process easy. I personally sought two extensions and they took me through the process with such professionalism and were so understanding. The human side of all the staff I interacted withstood out the most for me. And in particular-AMAL and her Manager whoever it is. I would highly recommend the CGI to the whole world for being so PROFESSIONAL

Insitfull programme to understand ESG Demands

I was delighted with the content and the supplementary resources to help me understand the lessons.
As a litigation lawyer, I understand that I need to understand the client's difficulties with the process from a non-legal perspective. Knowing the client's challenges is something I value, as it can make all the difference when conducting a case.
I have one suggestion: make the platform more user-friendly. It's not always intuitive how we can access all the content available to the students.

Overall positive but with a few minor issues

The course content was good and I feel much better prepared to work with an ESG strategy. However, there were some areas, especially in the early modules which were out of date and didn't include events from the past few years which is unhelpful given the environment is fast moving. There were also a few niggles with the exams, the same questions being asked more than once or requesting 3 answers but only allowing 1 to be selected which left a negative impression of an otherwise excellent course.

Thank you for your feedback. We're thrilled to hear that the course has made you feel better prepared to work with an ESG strategy, and we're delighted that you found the course excellent overall.

As you know, ESG is a rapidly evolving area and we strive to keep our material relevant and up-to-date. We regularly update our courses and will shortly review the modules you refer to. We also appreciate you highlighting a few exam niggles, and will look into the issues you mentioned.

We run fortnightly webinars and monthly masterclasses on ESG and Corporate Governance topics available to all. This is a great way to keep your knowledge current once you've completed the Diploma. Please see our website for more information on the webinars and masterclasses: https://www.thecorporategovernanceinstitute.com/events/
