Certificate in Company Secretarial Law and Practice offered in partnership with CGI Ireland.
Learning outcomes
Jointly awarded by the Diploma Centre and the Chartered Governance Institute (CGI), the Certificate in Company Secretarial Law and Practice offers a practical insight into company secretarial requirements in Ireland.
With an increased focus on the need for effective governance in the current climate, the position of company secretary has expanded in many companies, and the scope of the role has moved beyond corporate compliance to become a focal point for advice about governance, compliance, and the conduct of business.
Commencing on 7 February 2024, this established course focuses on the procedural requirements of company secretarial practice and aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the company law framework and key corporate governance provisions under the Companies Act.
What our past students say
“Having been working in the area of company secretarial and company law for a while I found the course very detailed, with modules covering a wide range of topics applicable to that of a Company Secretary. The fact it was delivered online was so convenient and if unable to watch lectures live, having the play back facility was very beneficial.
"I would highly recommend this course to anyone starting off in the company law world- be it in admin support to a corporate compliance team, someone who is aiming to pursue the Chartered Secretary qualification, or someone like me, who works in the area, but is looking to refresh their existing knowledge.”
Deirdre Garvey, Assistant Company Secretary at AIB
