Professional led ILM level 6 NED qualification with clear support on how to succeed. Great clear structured induction and opportunity to ask questions. Good platform for on demand and booking courses and support.
Really interesting session this week. The facilitators clearly knows her stuff and was able to facilitate a 4 hour session with confidence, diplomacy while calling a range of voices into the discussion. I came away with lots of reflections to take into my board roles.
Doing the NED cert, really impressed with Actuate so far. The first 4 modules were interesting and led by highly experienced experts in their field. The onboarding and 1:1 support has been great, the team did a very good job of drafting my NED CV, they are clearly very experienced.
Appears to lead the market in training and certifications in board related areas that previously lacked this approach.
The content was practical, engaging and highly relevant, with real-life examples that made complex financial concepts easy to understand. The sessions are delivered professionally and encouraged great discussion throughout. I would highly recommend it to anyone preparing for a Non-Executive Director role.
