Five things you should know about the PGA Director of Golf Programme

27/11/2023

Created in response to the demand by PGA Members, the Director of Golf qualification is designed to provide a means of recognition for those who already perform effectively in the role of Director of Golf as well as a framework for acquiring the skills needed for those who aspire to such a role.

The course is specifically designed for those already in a Director of Golf (or equivalent) role as well as those who aspire to this role in the future.
The PGA Certificate of Golf Management Theory is a stand alone award and can be achieved without the candidate holding a Director of Golf position.
In the 14 years of the 3-stage process, 158 PGA Members have been awarded the Certificate of Golf Management Theory with 139 graduates of the Director of Golf Qualification.
The Director of Golf Qualification is delivered through seven tailored units including Personal, Strategic, Operational and People Management as well as Finance, Marketing and Customer Service.
The next induction day is due to take place at The PGA Training Academy on Thursday 7th December 2023.

What PGA Members had to say about the course upon completion:

"This is something that will stay with me throughout my working life."
"I've been equipped with the knowledge to not only feel more confident but to perform more competently in my current position."
"With the strength of the PGA brand, I have gained a qualification recognised worldwide, it will undoubtedly stand me in good stead as I look to progress my career".
"Since finishing the course, I successfully applied for my current job as Managing Director of Golf. I'll shortly be enrolling for the next stage to go even further."
