Governance Programme

The Governance Programme provides members of boards in the college sector, and their staff, with key training courses that support them in their roles.

The programme has been developed to provide a full range of continuing professional development activities from inductions for new board members to training and guidance in specific areas of governance.

CDN also provides in-person training for board and a range of bespoke support. This is outlined in our programme brochure which can be downloaded from the link below.
