Read MoreThis course provides an excellent introduction to and/or reminder about all aspects of Advisory Boards. From the principles and purpose to practical steps for establishing a board and maintaining relevance, the course is comprehensive in scope. The content is easy to follow and digest, it's set out in a user-friendly format. I recommend this course for businesses and advisors alike, regardless of the phase of the advisory board journey.

Read MoreI was very happy with the course content and the way it was delivered with no jargon. Very succinct and not repetitive at all. It was great to hear the opinions of the other Advisory Chairs and their diligent answers to the Road Test questions. That being said, I still obviously have a lot of reading left to do in the way of resource documents.

Read MoreThe online course provides an effective way to progress at your own pace. Like a rich resource, reviewing and redoing the content allows more insights and details to be captured and understood. I also completed the day course which provided alternative peer experience sharing, however the online course allowed more information to be absorbed. A great resource both for business owners and advisors.

Read MoreThe Foundations course was self paced and both engaging and fulfilling. The time to complete the course passed quickly such was the quality of the content and the manner it was presented. I wish I had known about the course years ago!
