HGA Governor Events & CPD
HGA is the primary facilitator in Herefordshire of professional Governor Training delivered on a non-profit basis throughout the year. Our CPD training events & briefings are open to our subscribed members in-county and beyond, and we also offer rates for non-members.
All events we facilitate, whether face-to-face or online via webcam, are individually tailored and delivered by experienced governance consultants and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) - our sessions are always interactive, with delegates able to ask questions and take part in discussions.
We are also happy to signpost our members to - and give honest reviews of - external providers and other training available elsewhere.

Registers currently open for the following sessions:
Courses run throughout the year, during day times and evenings, week days & weekends.

All members benefit from subsidised pricing, and some events are free of charge. Delegate places subject to availability and HGA booking t&cs. Simply pre-registering an interest for one or more particular courses is without obligation and will secure you priority booking when dates are released.
For further information and for all registrations/bookings please email:
At HGA we operate a fair-charge policy...
In order to provide the service we do and to keep costs to a minimum for all schools, the viability of each of our events is always carefully measured - and by default therefore each is delegate-number dependent. We’re grateful to the majority of our members who always respect this and book responsibly, letting us know in good time if they're no longer able to make an event they've confirmed a place for.
To protect events against those who don’t however, please be aware that in fairness to everyone else and to maintain course viability, delegates making late cancellations or unexpectedly dropping out of chargeable events may still incur fees; these are determined on a sliding scale depending on notice of cancellation, with bookings cancelled on the day of the event or no-shows remaining payable in full. NB: late cancellations or no-shows for free-to-members events incur administration fees.
