Corporate Directors Certification Program

The Corporate Directors Certification Program is offered by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) along with a selection of institutes of directors across the MENA region. The first of its kind, the program is designed to provide participants with tools to tackle improvement of corporate governance practices, which impact the long-term planning and procedures of the board. Covering a wide range of corporate governance issues, participants will acquire the tools for strategic supervision and administrative control, learn about the board’s role in disclosure and transparency, and understand how to protect shareholder rights. Participants will be able to become Board Certified Directors after obtaining a minimum of eight out of twelve credit hours, and scoring at least 80 per cent on the program tests.
