The Corporate Governance Institute Announces Strategic Partnership with FutureLearn

Collaboration will bring TCGI’s globally recognised governance and AI certifications to FutureLearn’s international community of learners, expanding access to board-level education worldwide.

Dublin, Ireland and London, United Kingdom – Monday, 29th June 2026 – The Corporate Governance Institute (TCGI), the global leader in corporate governance and ESG education and certification, today announced a strategic partnership with FutureLearn, the UK-headquartered digital education platform trusted by millions of learners and hundreds of university and industry partners worldwide.

Under the agreement, TCGI’s suite of accredited diploma and certificate programmes – covering corporate governance, AI, risk and company secretarial practice – will now be made available to FutureLearn’s extensive global audience of 20 million customers. The partnership combines TCGI’s deep subject-matter expertise and rigorous, university-aligned curriculum with FutureLearn’s proven, social learning platform and worldwide distribution.

Boardrooms everywhere are under increased pressure to demonstrate stronger governance, sharper risk oversight and credible AI commitments. This partnership directly addresses that demand, giving professionals and aspiring directors a clear, flexible pathway to the qualifications increasingly expected of competent, modern leadership. Learners will benefit from TCGI’s practical, internationally recognised curriculum delivered through FutureLearn’s flexible, on-demand format.

Anthony Quigley, Co-Founder of The Corporate Governance Institute, said:

“This partnership with FutureLearn marks an important step in our mission to make world-class governance education accessible to professionals everywhere. FutureLearn’s reach and reputation for high-quality, learner-centred education make it an ideal partner as we work to set the global standard for governance certification.”

Katie Lowe, Partnership Manager at  FutureLearn, said:

“Governance and ESG capability are now core leadership skills, not specialist add-ons. By bringing TCGI’s respected certifications onto our platform, we’re giving our learners a direct route to credentials that employers and boards genuinely value.”

Both organisations share a commitment to widening access to high-quality, credible education. TCGI’s programmes are designed and continually updated by leading governance practitioners and academics, ensuring learners gain practical, board-ready skills rather than purely theoretical knowledge. FutureLearn’s platform is built around social, discussion-led learning that has proven especially effective for working professionals balancing study with demanding careers.

TCGI offers university-accredited online programmes designed to equip board members, executives and professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in corporate governance, AI, and company secretarial. Through its commitment to excellence and practical insight, TCGI sets the standard for governance education worldwide, supporting a global network of over 3,000 senior professionals and directors.
