The Institute of Directors has trained company directors for over a century. Its qualifications carry the only Royal Charter behind a director credential. From September 2026, you can earn them in Malta.
Think Talent is the IoD's authorised course provider in Malta. The course material is the IoD's. The faculty are practicing directors who teach the same content in London, Singapore and Mumbai. The administration, venue, and support: all Think Talent, on the ground.
The only director qualification backed by a Royal Charter.
In person and online. No flights, no timezone juggling.
Course leaders who have sat at the table, not academics.
Recognised quality standards. Eligible for funding where it applies.

Know what is expected of you as a director, and the skills to set, lead and evaluate your organisation's strategy.
Get to grips with leadership concepts and how they land in the director's role on the board.
The duties, roles and legal responsibilities of a director and the board, with corporate governance built in.
How a director's role connects to finance, and how financial strategy and corporate strategy talk to each other.
The only director designation in the world with a Royal Charter behind it. Here is how you earn it.
Complete 4 modules. SCQF Level 9, 18 credit points. Starts September 2026 in Malta.
Strategic application and assessment. SCQF Level 11, Masters level credit.
Professional Review and experience assessment. The letters CDir after your name.
The IoD's professional development is designed by directors for directors. You leave with skills you use the next time you walk into the boardroom.
Interpret financial statements, spot red flags, and challenge management reports with the right questions.
Handle conflict, dissent, and tricky boardroom dynamics with calm authority.
Set direction. Weigh alternatives. Align the board around a defensible plan, not the loudest voice in the room.
Director liability under Maltese and EU regulation. How to handle it without turning into a compliance officer.
Finish the programme with a network of fellow Maltese directors. A sounding board long after the course ends.
The IoD's qualifications are recognised internationally. The Certificate now, the Chartered Director designation later.
Three fields. We send you the brochure, the September 2026 calendar, and a direct line to Joseph Portelli.
