Diploma in Company Direction
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
