Director development

Programme overview

At the Business School we believe in the benefits of lifelong learning, whether it is developing high-potential employees, managing talent, retaining key staff, succession planning or honing the skills of established directors.

The Institute of Directors (IoD) Company Direction Programme is now successfully running in both Exeter and Bristol, which means that directors in the South West no longer have the expense of travelling to London to partake in this nationally recognised programme.

The IoD’s qualifications, the Certificate and Diploma in Company Direction will equip you with the essential skills and abilities to make you more effective in your role.  All this, and we will make sure they fit around your working lift too.

Qualifications are based on a blended learning principle, meaning we combine face to face courses with e-learning.  This makes sure they are flexible enough to fit in with any busy director’s schedule, so you have got no excuse not to get started.

The learning will keep you up to date with your changing responsibilities as a director or aspiring director, in a practical hands-on environment.  It will also give you the opportunity to share ideas with other directors, and get invaluable peer group support.

All our tutors are business leaders themselves, as we recognise that firs hand knowledge is the key to making sure you get the best from this programme.
