The ADC is an immersive three-and-a-half-day course designed to future proof directors with the skills and insights to stay ahead and lead with purpose at the board table.
Courses
Our world-class governance development courses have been designed in a distinctly New Zealand context by leading governance practitioners to suit your professional development needs. We offer in-person, self-paced or blended learning options. Most of our courses can also be delivered in-house and tailored to your board and organisation. If you are interested in an in-house delivery option visit us here to find out more.
Our in-person courses offer a unique opportunity to network with other directors and establish lasting relationships with your peers. You’ll learn from facilitators selected for their governance experience, diverse subject matter expertise, and their ability to enliven content by sharing their own experiences. Our online courses give you the flexibility to learn at a pace that suits your schedule. The IoD's blended learning courses combine self-paced modules with a virtual workshop and an opportunity to collaborate and embed your learning.
All of our courses are delivered via Learn@IoD, our learning management system. This provides an enriched experience, where individuals can access their own learning materials for all course types via an online dashboard. This enables us to be more carbon-conscious.
