How to improve your corporate governance
What this course is

A lesson a day, in your own time. Or the facilitated week, where somebody takes you through it with other business owners.
Each lesson ends in a quiz. You need 9 of 12 (75%) to pass it, and you get 3 attempts.
The certificate is for the facilitated week. If you study on your own you get a statement of results - a record of the lessons you passed.
