The Exceptional NED training programme has been designed to enable experienced business executives to gain the skills and knowledge to become an effective Non-Executive Director (NED) through a blend of workshop sessions and 3 month placement as a NED at a scaleup SME. This programme is for individuals with experience at executive level who are looking to further develop their skills as a NED and is ideal for those who have not yet undertaken a NED role or who are in the early stages of the transition. On completion of the programme, participants will be awarded a certificate and the opportunity to apply to join the national NED network.
