If you’re a company director looking for a skill upgrade, the Institute of Directors in Bermuda is offering a series of courses in the new year.

The IoD has just released their new professional development calendar.

Programmes include certificate in company direction modules, finance for non-finance directors, leadership for directors, role of the director and the board (international) and strategy for directors, and the diploma in company direction: developing board performance.

“Directorship is a skilled, demanding and challenging profession,” IoD Bermuda chair, Rochelle Simons said. “To be effective, directors require a combination of knowledge and a set of capabilities that enable leadership through judgment, reasoning, a strategic mindset and the ability to analyse and challenge the information or decisions with which boards are frequently confronted.

“The IoD professional development programme aims to develop these attributes by helping directors to development their skill, knowledge, professional competence and integrity, and by promoting the practice of good corporate governance.”
