Great news from the Institute of Directors (IoD), today I found out that I have passed the Diploma in Company Direction exam after 8 months of sutdy on the IoD’s Company Direction Programme. This clears the way for me to apply to become a Chartered Director.

During the 8 months I studied at the IoD I covered a number of topics including:

• The Role of the Company Director and the Board
• The Director and the Law
• Finance for non-Finance Directors
• Strategic Business Direction
• Effective Marketing Strategies
• People Mean Business (HR)
• Board Decision Making
• Leading and Directing Change
