    Learn from anywhere

    The Essential Directorship Masterclass provides you with distance learning modules to study in your own time, and at your own pace - supplemented with personal support from the author.


    With audio, video and print components they appeal to all learning styles - and support those for whom English is not your first language.

    The challenge of time

    I recognise that for a busy executive like you, developing your knowledge can be a chore if it requires setting aside extensive special study times. And it can be counter productive to try to absorb too much information all at once.


    That's why the Masterclass has been designed in chunks of no more than 20 minutes - they can be consumed while you take a coffee break,  in the car or on the train. And with audio visual and print components, they appeal to all learning styles.

    Features To Make Your Progress Easy

    Small Chunks

    Our resources are designed in small chunks so that you can learn and update over a cup of coffee or when travelling to or from work. 

    Multi-Media

    Our resources are available as multi-media, in print, audio and video formats so that the appeal to any learning style.

    Timed Delivery

    The CPD programme is delivered on a regular basis, so you are alerted to new posts and reminded to learn in small chunks.

    Becoming a director

    Joining a board for the first time can be a big step. It requires a different mindset, new skills, a new identity and changed relationships.


    Suddenly, you can be exposed to new language, new ideas and new assumptions; some things not taught even on MBA courses.


    The Essential Directorship Masterclass provides a comprehensive and practical introduction to directorship, governance, decision making and strategy to support you in your career.
