What will you gain from the

Award Programme?

Governance Officers who achieved the Award

last year tell us: "that the course was

money well spent"

"I think the course has helped raise

the profile of Governance in the

Company and the Council."

"The work we have done has all

been relevant to my job and in

fact I have been able to use

much of the work I have produced

in a practical way."

How will the course be run?

The programme will be run as a distance learning with two 2 day training sessions as well.

These will enable you to meet other candidates and get the full support from the tutor. The 2 two day sessions will be held in Manchester and the price for the overnight stays will be included.

The course will start with a 2 day session where everything is outlined and much of the teaching takes place to get you started. Over the next 2 or 3 months you are given workbooks and assignments to be handed in by deadlines set at the beginning of the course. Towards the end of the course there is another 2 day session to cover other issues of the course and for you to complete your presentation to the rest of the group. There will then be a final deadline for the work to be completed and handed in.

The Award is run over eight months giving you plenty of time to complete the work required but ensure that you stay motivated.

The cost for the Distance Learning programme is £1250 plus vat.
