The Corporate Director Certified Program consists of more than 22 modules and case studies delivered online over a 12 day period. This program is delivered in English.

The program is based upon IFC’s Corporate Governance Methodology, to equip participants with the tools and training to implement sound corporate governance processes and structures in the companies they are involved with. The highly interactive program will touch upon the following corporate governance dimensions:

• Commitment to Good Corporate Governance: The demonstration of a clear focus on effective structures and processes for achieving the benefits of good corporate governance.
• Board Structure & Functioning: The existence of a competent, legitimate, well-structured and effective board, including recommendations related to the composition, structure, and work procedures of the board.
• Management Control: The presence of an environment facilitating the achievement of sound internal control; management of risk; and the integrity of financial information.
• Disclosure & Transparency:  The easy availability of timely, accurate, relevant, complete, and actionable information equally to shareholders and, as appropriate, to other stakeholders, including regulators. 
• Shareholder Practices: The equal treatment of all shareholders, including protection from abuse from company insiders. 

After completing the course, participants need to sit for an online exam (at their own time and pace) and achieve at least 80% pass rate to receive the certificate.

The first of its kind, the program is designed to provide participants with tools to tackle improvement of corporate governance practices, which impact the long-term planning and procedures of the board. Covering a wide range of corporate governance issues, participants will acquire the tools for strategic supervision and administrative control, learn about the board's role in disclosure and transparency, and understand how to protect shareholder rights. Participants will be able to become Board Certified Directors after obtaining a minimum of eight out of twelve credit hours, and scoring at least 80 percent on the program tests.

The Corporate Director Certified Program is designed for board chairs, board members, directors, senior executive officers, and top management of companies and banks in MENA.
