Certificate

The Certificate in Governance Practice and Administration is a six-module CSA-accredited course at Certificate level suitable for a wide range of people working in the governance area. As it is an open-entry course, a student may enrol without holding any prior qualification. Typically, students are highly motivated people who are either embarking on a career in governance or already well established in their roles or planned career path. They are looking to improve their performance in their jobs, to enhance their future career options or to consolidate themselves in their current roles. From October 2009, successful completion of the Certificate course will entitle you to apply for  Certificated membership. The course provides invaluable knowledge and skills, along with an industry qualification, for anyone in a role providing support to a governance professional responsible for the accountability mechanisms of an organisation. This can be in a public (listed or unlisted) or proprietary company, or a not-for-profit, government or other organisation. In addition, it provides a CSA-accredited qualification for directors, officers and other senior managers who require a broad understanding of the scope of their governance responsibilities and the skills required to discharge them.

The Certificate course has been designed to provide substantial flexibility in the choice of training programs. From the 18 programs on offer you are required to take one from each of two groups with complete freedom of choice for your four other programs from the remaining 16 programs. This means you are free to choose the training programs most relevant to your learning needs based on your individual workplace role. This gives you the advantage of using the Certificate course to fill in any gaps in your knowledge and skills.

Training programs can be taken either by attending face-to-face tutorials or by studying online with the benefit of online access to recorded face-to-face class presentations.

All Certificate training programs are written and presented by a wide range of professionals, including expert practitioners in governance and company secretarial practice, and leading law and business academics.
