The Trustee Toolkit programme consists of 3 modules, which are based on the principles of good governance and sound decision making. Each module composes of tutorials, case studies, reference materials, assignment(s) and a formative assessment. On successful completion of each the modules and the summative assessment, the trustee will receive a Certificate of Completion. The custodians of the toolkit is the Consumer Education Department of the FSB and there is no cost to participants.
