Professional Directors Association Delivery Partner

Excellence in Learning have been appointed as the exclusive delivery partner of the Board Director Certificate programme of the Professional Directors Association. It is a comprehensive director qualification that is fully validated and quality controlled by the Professional Directors Association.

Chartered Management Institute Recognised Training Centre for Director Training Courses.

CPD – Formal Certificates of Professional Development will be issued to participants who successfully complete their training course. These certificates will be accepted as evidence for CPD purposes by most professional institutes and associations.  Our clients, mainly Directors and Senior Executives, regularly award an “Excellent” overall rating

Institute of Leadership and Management approved Director Training Centre for Leadership Training Courses

For numbers of delegates, the course fees per person, are significantly lower than the per delegate costs of our standard open events. Once savings on travel costs and staff travel time are taken into account, the total cost savings will be even greater.

Our training courses are evaluated as “Excellent” by the delegates, based upon the average of all of the assessments across all of our delegate feedback forms.

By running courses and workshops internally, the course content can be tailored to meet your precise training needs.  This approach is favoured by many of our clients as it provides a high quality value-for-money staff development route.

We can also design and develop material to meet any specific needs, aims or objectives you may have.  Please contact us with the details of your requirements for a cost quotation or contract.

We can adjust these times to meet your needs if required.

Delegate Details, Feedback and CPD Certificates

We ask that the client supplies the details of delegate names and positions in advance. We would use this information to tailor the level of the delivery to the audience and to produce a register. The register is later used to produce the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) certificates. Where Excellence in Learning delegate workshop evaluation forms are completed and returned to us, usually via the presenter on the day, we will provide copies of the evaluation forms to you. The CPD certificates will be emailed directly to the delegates after the event.

We are accredited by the Chartered Management Institute as an approved training centre.  Their logo along with that of Excellence in Learning will be on the 2 day Director and Finance course certificates.

We are also accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management as an approved training centre.  Their logo along with that of Excellence in Learning will be on the Leadership for Director course certificates.

This course is recognised for CPD purposes by most professional institutes and associations including the Institute of Leadership and Management, the Institute of Directors, the Law Society, the CIM, the CMI, the ICAEW, the Institute of Learning and the CIPD. Formal Certificates of Professional Development will be issued to all participants who successfully complete this course.

Supply of Course Materials

We usually ship the materials directly to a named contact at the delivery venue the day before the training workshop and then check upon their arrival. Materials are usually a small box of delegate packs, which we ask to be opened and the contents placed at each delegate seat, with any spare copies being passed to the presenter. This is organised by our print and dispatch team, but it would be helpful if you could let us know with whom they should liaise, regarding confirmation of final numbers, shipping of materials and the applicable contact address/phone number.
