The Company Secretary plays a pivotal role in the corporate governance and administration of a legal entity. To qualify as a Chartered Secretary a formal internationally recognised qualification is undertaken via the Institute of Chartered Secretaries (ICSA) through their Chartered Secretaries Qualifying Scheme (CSQS). It's a broad based scheme comprising of 8 core modules that combine the legal and financial disciplines.
For more information on the CSQS and to assess your eligibility to study for the exams please visit:

MENTORSHIP; did you know there is help at hand?
The Association of Women Chartered Secretaries (a networking group of the ICSA) provides a mentoring service for ICSA students who are looking for confidential advice or guidance - in respect of their studies or career development in general?
Using an informal network of mentors who work on a one-to-one basis - either company secretaries themselves or people closely linked to the field - you can tap into a wealth of practical experience to help you meet your personal and professional goals, and achieve all-round success as a company secretary.
