A high-quality, unique learning experience, this program incorporates expertise and experience from subject matter experts from both within and outside the college sector.

Participants will also benefit from the program’s networking and shared learning opportunities where ideas, perspectives and knowledge are exchanged and connections are strengthened.
The sessions are intended to complement training provided by individual colleges to equip board members and board staff for their roles.
There are two certificate programs available: Good Governance (GG) and Advanced Good Governance (AGG). Learn more about the Board Excellence Certificate program.
