“I wanted an overview of what a prospective Non-Executive Director needs to know, and I got what I wanted. It was a five-day (remote) course of around 6 hours a day of passive and active learning. There were twelve participants which worked very well not only for break-outs but also for on-going discussion during the full sessions. It is a huge topic but each module covered enough ground to give us a basic (at least) to modest (and sometimes higher) appreciation of the subject matter. The material for each module also, helpfully, contained some higher-level commentary as well as guidance on how and where to dig deeper if we wanted to do so. Top marks to the presenters for knowing their subjects well enough to be able to achieve this.” – Toby, InPD Non-Executive Directors Development Programme Student.
The Role of the Non-Executive Director
Our two-day course on The Role of the Non-Executive Director is designed to equip you with the tools and knowledge to carry out this critical and complex position effectively. Through attendance of this 2-day CPD Endorsed professional development course, you will learn how to engage with the wider corporate aim of your organisation, ensuring the correct governance and accountability structures are in place.
After completing non-executive director training, participants will be equipped with fundamental skills and knowledge necessary to contribute to the success of businesses. They will be able to assess risk and manage entrepreneurial leadership while operating within a company’s values and standards. Additionally, they'll understand their obligations to stakeholders and shareholders while demonstrating sound judgement. Problem-solving will be a key component of the training, along with being capable of communicating effectively with third parties. One of the most important skills taught will be empathy, learning how to listen before speaking in order to appreciate different viewpoints. Armed with these set of life-long learnings, non-executive directors can play an invaluable role in helping companies achieve success.
The course was interactive and informative, delivered at a great pace with excellent tutors who were engaging, enthusiastic and helpful. – Andria, InPD Non-Executive Directors Development Programme Student.

“Great course. I'd recommend this to anyone in a senior leadership role covering sales and strategy, or if you're wanting to move into a senior role. Really well planned out, great materials and very knowledgeable team. It really helped me with some 'live' issues that I'm tackling within my organisation. Money well spent!” – Christopher, InPD Non-Executive Directors Development Programme Student.
