  • "Professional qualifications such as that from the Financial Times are a very effective way to complement relevant experience. They provide a comprehensive range of skills and knowledge that are needed to become, and remain, a successful non-executive director."

    Chief Executive,
    The Quoted Companies Alliance (QCA)

  • "The Financial Times program has taken my professional knowledge to the next level in areas that my MBA program only touched upon and has given me the professional skills to practice not only as a contributing member of a board but as a more effective business leader. I would highly recommend anyone contemplating this diploma program as part of their professional development."
