Course Application

Boards that are more diverse tend to be more effective.

Therefore, it stands to reason we want this course to be inclusive, and for our students to reflect the broad spectrum of skills and backgrounds that are found across the Australian community.

Your application is designed to help us gauge your ability to successfully complete the course.

Your response will provide us with an indication of your

• motivation and interest
• academic capacity and English language skills, and
• governance, community, business and/or life experience.

We believe these are necessary for you to

• complete the engagement and assessment tasks
• collaborate and communicate effectively with your teachers and fellow classmates
• apply your knowledge, skills and understandings as a board member in the not-for-profit and/or community sectors.

You must also commit to:

• The time and motivation to participate fully and actively in all aspects of the course
• The ability to engage with all components of the course, including access to a computer with a good internet connection and modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge etc) from the first day of the course
• A commitment to transferring knowledge gained to a not-for-profit/community organisation
