“Thank you for the excellent value for money e-learning trusteeship course which I have recently completed. It was quite an eye opener as I never appreciated how much information a trustee is required to know. The learning will prove to be worthwhile in my role as a new trustee for a small charity. Now the best bit is applying that learning to help provide a well governed charity.”
“Our trustees have commented on how much we have learned about our role, and how very overdue this is for us… So thank you! We are already better equipped for our roles (and some of us have been trustees for more than 15 years!)”
“Congratulations on an excellent training programme and resources. I shall be commending it to my fellow trustees and others who might be interested.”
“I’m finding the modules very interesting and quite absorbing! Time flies by when I’m working through them.”
“I just completed my online test. It took me a couple of tries but I am so excited to have it complete. The information provided is professional. Thank you for providing the service and I will definitely recommend it to my friends.”
