About Modern Governor
Modern Governor offers a constantly-growing collection of e-learning modules for governors and trustees in maintained schools, academies and free schools.
They use us to improve how their governing body performs and provide induction for new members – and from their evaluations, 99% of them would recommend Modern Governor to their fellow governors and trustees.

Even better, new modules are constantly added and made available to subscribers at no additional cost – so your Modern Governor service keeps getting better.
Training Pathways
Leading the way in governor training
We have created four training pathways bringing together some our most popular modules in a user-friendly way to support governors develop within their role, understand their responsibilities and increase their knowledge.
Governors can select the pathway that is right for them, based on their existing experience and complete at their own pace.
