Who are credentials for?

Credentials are designed for experienced professionals looking for formal recognition of their skills and knowledge. They’re offered at three levels (aligned to Bachelor, Pre Master and Master levels) and are suited to a range of professionals, from those early in their career to those with significant experience.

Credentials are useful if you want to be recognised for your current skills in order to advance your career. They may be recognised by your employer or by your industry as proof of your capability, or they may lead to credit towards further study at Deakin University.

How do Credentials work?

Because credentials are designed to recognise the skills and knowledge you already have, the process to earn a credential does not involve formal classes. Instead, Deakin University assesses your skills and knowledge based on your presentation of evidence.

To achieve a credential, you submit a portfolio of evidence with a reflective narrative and video testimony that demonstrate the skills and knowledge you’ve already gained.

What will you Discover?

Governex is not only concerned with the roles and duties of board directors, it is a comprehensive corporate governance training program. Throughout our six courses you'll reflect on the way ‘to do’ corporate governance in your organisation - making this course the most practical in the market.

Upon completion of Governex you will be ready to:

  • Lead your organisation's Entrepreneurial efforts (strategy and risk) by focusing on Purpose and Culture;
  • Understand the Integrity underpinning you and your board and how these influence your organisation’s governance process;
  • Focus your organisation's Prosperity with the tools to evaluate financial performance; and
  • Build your skills to support your board and organisation to have a positive impact on society.

 What to anticipate?

By completing the Governex suite of courses, executives and directors will develop the requisite skills to not only understand, but influence and implement good governance in their organisation.Through innovative digital storytelling and the use of interesting and sometimes amusing metaphors, reflection exercises throughout the course will leave you with a take on what needs to be improved and how to improve it. No matter what type of organisation you are involved in, we all strive for good governance.


The six courses in the Governex suite (Course outline):

  1. Purpose and Culture - everything starts with purpose and culture so we start your governance journey here;
  2. Integrity – legal duty, integrity of responsibilities, integrity of behaviour;
  3. Entrepreneurship - the relationship and balance between risk and strategy;
  4. Prosperity - financial success and sustainability are key;
  5. Society- just because an organisation can, does that mean it should; and
  6. Succeed - attaining a role that aligns with your values, interests and abilities.

The Assessment

Because credentials are designed to recognise the skills and knowledge you already have, the process to earn a credential does not involve formal classes. Instead, Deakin University assesses your skills and knowledge based on your presentation of evidence.

What you'll submit

Your evidence will include:

  • Two to three examples of previous work projects, along with documented evidence of these
  • A reflective testimony that explains your evidence and tells your story
  • A video testimony demonstrating your skills and knowledge and where you answer a series of questions. Questions are based on the credential criteria and dimensions.

Identity Assured

You will be required to verify your identity as part of the credentialling assessment process, by providing details from an approved list of identity documents.

In addition to your written evidence, your video testimony assures us of your identity, and that your responses are based on your own work. Your voice recording from the video testimony will be used to verify your identity.
