What’s your learning pathway? We’re here to support you in every aspect of your professional development journey.
We recognise that your director career extends beyond any one course and we are dedicated to supporting and guiding you for the entirety of your learning pathway.
Our 2018-19 Professional Development Handbook is the perfect way to explore how our world-class courses, events, services, publications and tools can support you.
The handbook will help you identify a learning pathway that suits your current and future development needs, because even the most experienced directors never stop learning.
Your learning pathway
Our ‘core’ offerings provide you with the critical elements of directorship. They are designed to deepen and extend your governance knowledge.
Our ‘individual’ offerings focus on the attributes that individuals bring to their role as a director. This encompasses the roles and responsibilities of directors and leadership capabilities.
Our ‘board’ focused offerings cover the practices that individuals bring to their board. This includes the roles and responsibilities of boards, how boards operate and how boards perform.
Our ‘organisational’ focused offerings cover the responsibilities of directors in relation to the performance of the organisation. The key focus in this section is on governance, risk, strategy, finance and management relations.
Customised courses for your board or organisation
Our In-House service can work with you to build tailored development solutions that meet the unique needs of your board or organisation.
The Framework was developed with advice from leading Australian directors, and through a review of international governance and director guidelines and reports.

Using the matrix you will be able to quickly find professional development opportunities in areas of interest that match your knowledge levels and preferred learning format.
The tool allows AICD members to identify ways to strengthen their current skill set and maintain currency in the ever-evolving governance environment.
Its benefits flow beyond the individual director to enhanced board performance and improved leadership. Our members are required to undertake 60 units of DPD over a three-year rolling cycle as part of their membership.
DPD activity covers a wide range of learning, both formal, such as courses and programs, and informal, such as professional reading, briefings, and sharing director and governance expertise. Our 2017-18 Professional Development Handbook contains professional learning products and services that can help in your DPD, a number of which are free for members.
