The programme is supported by the Governance Hub and it's free. Study at your own pace and in your own time. You can work through the programme or pick and choose areas of interest. It can also be used to increase the effectiveness of your Board, by taking a particular topic and working through the issues as an item on the agenda of your next meeting.
