Philip had an excellent wealth of experience & practical knowledge of a wide number of industries and was really warm & welcoming- An asset to the course! Alana Chalmers, Marketing Management & Business Development", "\'\'I recently attended David's How to become a Non-Executive Director course. I can highly recommend this comprehensive and value-for-money all-day course. Class numbers were kept at a manageable size for maximum interaction, enabling everyone to contribute and get the most out of the day. It was interesting to note that the course attracted a diverse range of interested participants, ranging from someone in their first job to an experienced member of committees, to someone who had substantial work experience, quite removed from the corporate arena, who wanted to learn about and explore opportunities as an NED. The course content was extremely relevant and helpful including the different routes to becoming an NED. On the basis of this training, attendees could feel more confident about embarking on the next stage of applying for opportunities leading in the long-term to an NED role or two. David clearly has a wealth of experience and is to be congratulated for his extremely useful training that has been pitched at the right (user-friendly) level for participants from diverse backgrounds.

I came away with some clear actions. Bernard Grenville-Jones Chairman | NED | Entrepreneur", "Having attended Social Media for Beginners, I have both a fuller understanding of the positive impact that appropriate use of social media could have on my business and better technical knowledge of the different tools available.

I can thoroughly recommend this course and David. As well as meeting interesting colleagues, a great way to understand compliance, personal capabilities and skills needed to fulfil a NED role. A helpful and well structured intro into the NED world. Alli Hooton, Managing Consultant 3103 Human Resources Ltd", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
\'\'I did the course in Bristol, in January on a chilly day. I received a warm welcome however and David brought the subject matter to life, made it practical, and tailored it to our specific objectives. The course structure made sense, we had enjoyable discussions, and the other people on the course (as usual with such things) were a good resource too. I can recommend it fully to anyone considering it. You'll be in capable and experienced hands. Alex Nichols Director at Alex Nichols Consulting Ltd", "How to become a Non-Executive Director

\'\'This course is a must for any aspiring NED and even established NED's as a refresher. The content and its delivery were well paced, informative and challenging in equal measures, led by a seasoned expert whose capabilities provide a wealth of knowledge to be drawn upon. Incredible value for money and should be part of a suite of courses leading to a more formal qualification for aspiring NEDs. 100% recommended, you will not be disappointed.

I found the day stimulating and informative.

Helpful and fulsome in opening up the channel of Non-Executive Director as a career path.

It was very thought provoking, and I left armed with a list of actions to take to improve the on-line presence of my business.

\'\'The course was a really thorough grounding in what it means to be a non-exec director and how you can apply your knowledge and skills to the role to good effect. The combination of useful information about corporate governance and directors' liabilities, a very experienced and insightful course lead in the form of David Doughty, and practical exercises about how to address particular situations that NEDs can expect to face made for a very interesting session, but also one which was directly applicable to my new role. Jane Ginnever FRSA Founding Director, SHIFT", "How to become a Non-Executive Director
I would thoroughly recommend this course. It gave me an excellent overview of the role of a NED and a clear steer on how best to look for and be successful in becoming a NED. All my pre course questions were answered. The examples the tutor gave were interesting and stimulated good debate. The small size of the group allowed questions and good dialogue. Look no further for a course on this subject Helen Sharpe Managing Director Education Division Priory Group", "Marketing for Non-Marketing Directors

\'\'Right from the start of the Marketing for Non-Marketing Directors course, the importance of marketing strategy to the future of any company was made plain; Duncan was very clear about the pivotal nature of the role of the board in marketing strategy, and the consequences - for the long-term sustainability of the company - of failure to engage. I consider myself duly forewarned! Chris Jones Managing Director Meta Mission Data", "As someone who is looking to move into a Non-Executive Director role I found Excellencia's How to become a Non-Executive Director Course invaluable. It gives you a clear overview of what is required from a NED and helpful advice about how one goes about obtaining a position. It is also a very useful course for Businesses that are looking at implementing Board structure and responsibilities.
David Doughty leads the various sessions in a clear, concise & helpful manner Alan Clydesdale Providing Business Advisory Services to SMEs", "I had the pleasure of attending a recent How to become a Non-Executive Director course that David ran.
As someone who not only runs their own business, has had a career and built up experience the opportunity to learn more about this was too good to miss.
David’s experience and expertise shone through as the day progressed – beginning with the roles, responsibilities, the legal aspects , the liabilities – all explained with examples of the good, the bad and the ugly of what has happened. David went through the skillset and actual case studies based on his career as an NED in all three sectors. This enabled there to be some great discussions where questions were answered. The structure of the day that David put together was second to none as I was taken through a well organised and flowing workshop – culminating in how I would secure a NED position. What was refreshing was the fact that David continually referred to his experience and not what you’d find in a text book coupled with a wealth of resources that are available. I would wholeheartedly recommend attending one of Execellensia courses that David runs and to point others that you know who may be interested in David’s direction.

There has never been a better time to be part of Fareham College, with excellent student outcomes and sizeable capital investment to continue to develop its world-class learning facilities for students and staff.

The successful candidates will bring experience at a strategic level in areas specific to Finance/Audit or Human Resources/ Organisational Development. The appointed Governor(s) will provide expertise in their area, providing advice, guidance and most importantly supportive challenge. Working collegially with the Senior Management Team as a ‘critical friend’, Governors play an important role in helping guide the organisation to achieve the College’s strategy and objectives.

  • The chance to shape and guide post-16 education provision in the Solent area
  • An opportunity to use and develop existing skills in shaping strategic decisions, performance management and leadership
  • Opportunities to meet and be exposed to a wide range of local stakeholders and employers in education, training and apprenticeship

Governors, must ensure they give sufficient time to their duties and undertake the role with rigour, enabling critique and support to the Chief Executive Officer and their senior leadership team.

Governors will influence decision making and strategy in many ways, exercising the Corporation’s powers and undertaking specific duties of;

  • setting and communicating your college’s educational character, strategy and goals

  • Finance and Audit.
  • Human Resources and Organisational

We are interested to engage those with leadership experience in Further or Higher Education, but also welcome interest from anyone with relevant experience from other sectors and industries outside of education that could add significant value to the College.

These roles offer a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious and committed non-executive board, and genuinely have an impact on the future success of the College and its students. Working with the Board you will help build on the forward-looking vision and strategy, ensuring the college continues to make a demonstrable and positive contribution to its communities.
