BC public sector board training and resources > Governing in the Public Interest Certificate


Public sector board members are invited to achieve their Governing in the Public Interest Certificate. This online training certificate program provides B.C. public appointees with the foundational knowledge needed to fulfill their governance responsibilities. The program features video, interactive exercises, and case studies.

The Governing in the Public Interest Certificate program is based on four core governance modules, expanding the breadth and scope of these resources:

The program has two levels:

  • Level 1 includes modules in:
    • Public Sector Organization Basics
    • Your Role as Board/Tribunal Member
  • Level 2 includes modules in:
    • Financial Governance
    • Risk Management
    • Human Resources

Level 2 builds on Level 1 and is designed for members of governing boards. Tribunal chairs may also find this helpful. All appointees are welcome to complete both levels.

Currently, Level 1 is available, and Level 2 is coming soon.

Through this certificate program, appointees will increase their knowledge of governance best practices and take away practical tips to enhance their effectiveness as public sector organization board and tribunal members.

All B.C. government appointees will be invited to complete the program over the course of a two-week period following registration.
