attained their Diploma to go on and seek to become Chartered. Over the years the learning and practical skills that the IoD have given me have been invaluable in helping me to execute my responsibilities in business to the best of my ability. Sean Christian MD & Executive Director – Wealth Management Division, Canada Life UK “Most professional career paths have clear qualification requirements. Having qualified as an accountant 25 years ago and spent well over a decade on boards I was looking for an additional qualification that would help me develop as a director. The Chartered Director programme gave me that and is the most relevant and practical training programme I’ve ever undertaken” Anna Mazzilli Managing Director Praxis IFM “In 2018, I decided I needed to expand and update my knowledge so I looked into what the IoD had to offer. I can honestly say, I have never looked back. Initially I thought I would only do the Certificate, but having attended a week long course with like minded individuals and tutors, I was hooked. Roll on February 2019 and I was awarded my Chartered status. I would highly recommend the IoD courses”.
