Chartered Governance Qualifying Programme

Advance your governance career with expert tuition for the Chartered Governance Qualifying Programme (CGQP). KCB provides comprehensive tuition and revision programmes for every module of the Chartered Governance Institute (CGI) Chartered Governance Qualifying Programme. Whether you’re beginning your governance journey or progressing toward Chartered status, our programmes are designed to help you succeed.

All KCB courses include access to the Companion Examination Practice Tool, along with high quality resources developed by our experienced tutors. Everything we provide is designed to strengthen your exam technique and give you the confidence to perform at your best.

CGI exams take place in June and November, and you can choose when to sit each module. Study in the way that suits your lifestyle: join weekly live online classes for structure and tutor interaction, or choose a flexible self paced route to learn at your own pace.

From August 2026, we are introducing four enhanced modes of study, giving you more choice, more flexibility, and more tailored support.

Use the table below to quickly understand the differences between each route and find the study format that best fits your goals.
