The course is designed to be completed as a whole. However, boards can access individual topic modules as needed.
This training is designed to assist new board members by providing a short introductory course. This is appropriate for any board member serving outside NSW. As the NSW Education Act has particular governance and funding compliance requirements, tailored NSW-specific training has been developed that satisfies the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) requirements for board members’ formal induction training. NSW board members should complete that course instead.
