The process to sign up was seamless and the coursework was up to date and relevant whether you are a potential NED or current board member. The lecturers and interesting and the topics are interactive and fun.

I would recommend this course especially for anyone who is looking to become a NED.

An exceptional structure and a robust interactive platform

The structured nature of the curriculum outlined in the materials has particularly appealed to me. This course has provided me with valuable insights and skills relevant to my professional goals, naturally in the field of "Corporate Governance."

I must commend the program for its exceptional structure and the robust interactive platform provided. Moreover, the wealth of additional resources including websites, webinars, interviews, and questionnaires has truly enriched my learning journey. These supplementary materials have not only been informative but also engaging, offering valuable insights beyond the confines of the core curriculum.

I must also mention the mind-stimulating nature of the exams, which have served as an effective tool for reinforcing concepts and assessing comprehension.

Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and depth of the course content, as well as the learning resources provided. I am confident that this experience will greatly contribute to my professional development.

Corporate Governance

Completed the Diploma course on Corporate Governance. The structure, learning materials, tools
and support team were excellent. This was backed up by leading experts in their fields providing engaging and relevant content. This really brought the subject matter to life and allowed me to make real world connections against the content that was covered. An excellent course on which I have learned many corporate governance skills and ideas that I can apply back in my workplace. Highly recommended.

Diploma is ESG is a must

The CGI ESG course is a highly valuable investment for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of sustainable business practices and reporting obligations. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a student, this course equips you with the knowledge and tools to drive positive change in your organization and beyond. The additional webinars that are also freely available on the CGI website were also hugley beneficial. Not only during the course but also after, they are a great way to hear from industry practitioners with real life case studies. Finally, I found the learning support team really helpful as I had to extend my period to complete the course.

Self-paced Corporate Governance Diploma

I made the self-paced Corporate Governance Diploma. For busy people and tight agenda to attend a on-site program its very good. From all the programs I researched its one of the most complete, that cover in depth all relevant subjects, with a trustworthy certification at the end.

I struggled to access learning materials and your intervention came late. The classes were late especially for South African time because we are an hour ahead. Multiple type of questions are limiting because one can’t explain according to their knowledge but confined to multiple type of questions. The course is expensive when converting euros to rands that’s why failing has exerted pressure and the course has become unaffordable.

The (IN)Effective Company…

I signed up for the Effective Company Secretary course, took the course immediately and passed the assessment - got my certificate with a distinction.
Then the flood of emails started, I kept asking the CGI to stop sending, there's no way to unsubscribe; very annoying. Often six or more messages every day.
The latest email reads, 'Now that you’re familiar with the learning platform, it’s time to start The Effective Company Secretary.' That's the course I took two weeks ago!

Hi Anthony,

We’re really sorry about the experience you had once you completed your course. We fully appreciate how intrusive it is to receive multiple emails, especially for a course you’ve already completed.

We’re glad to say we identified why this was happening, fixed the issue, and communicated this to you so that it won’t happen again.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We value all the feedback we receive.

Congratulations on achieving a distinction in your course. We hope you’ll stay connected with us.
