“I am always looking at striving towards best practice but find in a busy work environment the time to assess and reflect is limited. The ACC  in-house certification program allowed me to take some time out and listen, learn and develop from a wide range of in house experts. The course is fast paced, engaging and provides you with a vast tool kit of best practice to take back to your role and organisation.”

"The ACC In-House Counsel Certification course was the single best learning and networking event I attended in 2019. In four days, the program helped me unpack my skills and experiences as a senior in-house counsel managing a team; and realign them with international best practices to support me in effectively advising my organisation and leading the in-house function. This course is a must for in-house lawyers ready to effectively lead their organisation into the future."
