Study Our Qualifications

Qualifications offered by CGIUKI either directly or through our accredited partners are recognised worldwide for their depth and status. On successful completion of one of these courses, you will be eligible for membership, either as an Affiliated or Graduate member.

Types of Qualifications

Chartered Governance Qualifying Programme

Study our flagship postgraduate level qualification to become a Chartered Governance professional.

This is our flagship qualification and the most common route to GradCG status and Chartered membership of the Institute. The programme covers seven subjects at two levels and can be completed alongside your full-time job.

International Finance and Administration

An IFA qualification is a great way to increase your employability – wherever you work, and whatever stage you’re at in your career.

We developed our International Finance and Administration (IFA) qualifications in response to the increasing complexity of providing financial services across borders, as well as the growing demand for greater transparency.

Sector Qualifications

We offer a number of qualifications to suit a variety of professional requirements at different levels. Catered to your sector, we offer certificates in academy, charity law, corporate, education and health services governance.

We offer sector-specific one year self-study qualification courses, which you can do alongside your day job. Upon completion of one of our short course qualifications, you will be eligible to take up Affiliate membership with the Institute.

Accredited Qualification Courses

In addition to courses run by CGIUKI, we work with partners to offer the governance community a wider range of courses, ideal for various specialisms in governance.

We are proud to work with some renowned training providers and business schools to offer a range of qualifications ideal for career progression for governance professionals.

Validated Postgraduate University Courses

We also have long standing partnerships with a number of UK and Irish Universities who offer postgraduate qualifications in governance, which covers the same content as the CGIUKI Qualifying Programme and offers an alternative route to chartered membership of the Institute.
