Director Development Accelerator Programme – CFA Institute

I was quite new in my role as a director of business operations, and I wanted to ensure that I was approaching things correctly. I needed to benchmark myself against other directors and see if I was asking the right questions and focusing on the right areas. Additionally, expanding my network with others at a similar level was important to me.

“The training gave me the confidence to ask the right questions and apply strategic concepts in real-time.”

The Director Development Programme offered by INPD was the perfect fit. The course provided in-person training with experienced tutors, allowing me to ask real-time questions and receive immediate clarity. The course was also covered by my company’s learning and development funding, so it was an ideal opportunity to gain both knowledge and connections.

“I returned to my role feeling more confident and equipped to handle key financial data and strategic discussions.”

The approach was incredibly engaging and interactive. We were in a room with people from various industries, but everyone was at the same level in terms of their roles. This created a dynamic learning environment where we could all ask questions and learn not just from the tutors but from each other’s experiences as well. The tutors were knowledgeable, passionate, and highly experienced, and that energy was really motivating.

“The tutors were knowledgeable, passionate, and their energy was incredibly motivating.”

INPD provided invaluable clarity and confidence. The training gave me the confidence to ask the right questions and apply strategic concepts in real-time. I even created a deck the following week that I wouldn’t have had the confidence or ability to do prior to the course. Additionally, the networking aspect was invaluable – we created a WhatsApp group and continue to stay connected and support each other.

“Being in a room with like-minded directors provided clarity that you just can’t get from a YouTube video.”
