The Programme is conducted by the Singapore Management University (SMU) in partnership with the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID).
The first of its kind in Singapore with a formal certification process focusing on director training, the Programme aims to develop directors with a broad range of knowledge who are able to contribute meaningfully to boardroom deliberations on any matter.
It comprises six (6) modules:
The modules are taught by both SMU faculty as well as senior industry practitioners. The lectures are backed by real-life case studies and opportunities for exchange of personal experiences.
This training programme leads to the Executive Certificate in Directorship (upon completion of the first three modules 1 to 3) and the Executive Diploma in Directorship (upon completion of all six modules 1 to 6). Assessments had to be taken and passed before the Certificate or Diploma can be awarded.
