I was impressed with the structure of board exam subject areas, as well as the certification, which is highly recognized and has become a job prerequisite. The certification further earned me a promotion and contributed to the recognition of my skill and expertise.

I would recommend the qualification to others because it puts you on the map and exposes you to a very different side of the legal field. It has contributed immensely to my career, as I am now able to perform all the company secretarial and corporate governance duties.

The CGISA qualification has given me the insights to the broader domain of governance, compliance, legal and financial involvement on a higher level in the corporate world. Personally, this qualification has significantly enhanced my capacity to uphold high standards in the administrative processes and corporate governance, exceeding initial expectations.

The CGISA qualification is highly sought after and is recognised in more than 80 countries. The qualification gives you a competitive advantage. My previous boss and mentor recommended the course – it comes highly recommended, and I am learning a lot.

The qualification is suitable for those seeking to make a shift in the profession with a legal qualification or background. The course covers all areas of business, including governance, finance, strategy, legal, risk, compliance, and ethics in the profession, as well as reputation. The qualification advances career aspiration and affords you more opportunities once you acquire it, coupled with experience.

I find the role of Company Secretary challenging and rewarding. Every day brings new opportunities to ensure compliance, support effective governance, and foster strong communication. I wholeheartedly recommend this role and the Board (NQF8) qualification to anyone looking to make an impact in any dynamic business environment.

I currently work in a financial services company in Cape Town, running their company secretarial division. My studies with CGISA have been invaluable to me and have been instrumental in shaping my new career path, including personal growth. I am grateful to the team at CGISA.
