Human Resource Managers are the backbone of most large Organisations.

A good human resource manager can increase productivity and profitability for a business, and make life happier as well as more productive for both employees and employers.

A formal qualification is not necessarily needed to be a successful HR manager; but the skills that come from a comprehensive and extensive training course such as this are critical to not only getting a HR job; but also keeping it.

 

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO STUDY? 
 
The entire course takes around 1500 hours of study to complete. 

Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school's tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.


WHAT DOES A HUMAN RESOURCES PROFESSIONAL DO?
 
Human resources involves working with people.
If you are a "people person"; this can be a very good job for you; but if people frustrate or annoy you; it can be a bad choice of career.
 
The job involves far more than just being "friendly" and "liked" by others.
 
Human resources staff may do nice things like giving people jobs -but they may also need to do not so nice things such as reprimanding employees and terminating employment.
 

The skills you Develop in this Course Can be Used in many Different Jobs!
Some graduates may become human resources managers; but others may find work in all sorts of other "people" oriented jobs.
 
A lot of people become fascinated by psychology and human behaviour. Sometimes a passion for understanding the human mind translates into a desire for helping others overcome mental health problems. In other cases it may just serve as a catalyst towards a career in working with people.  This may lead to studying health and social sciences such as psychology, counselling, social work or youth work. Frequently though, it may not lead to the sort of work situation they had initially thought.
 
In reality, most psychology graduates do not end up working in psychology much the same as most law graduates do not become lawyers. Those who do follow through with these professions usually take post-graduate qualifications which are more specialised. However, some of the knowledge and many of the skills that are developed through study can be widely applied to other areas of work and life situations.
Similarly, many graduates from other fields don’t necessarily end up in professions directly related to their area of study. For instance, sociology graduates don’t always spend their lives as social workers and indeed many health and social science graduates often end up working outside of the health services industry. Their studies are not a waste of time though! 
A diploma such as this can form a great foundation for working in vocations as diverse as welfare and marketing,  or leisure services and business.
 
Any good diploma course today will have applications well beyond the limits of the discipline they studied.
  • Psychology graduates may have a good foundation for working in the leisure industry, in marketing or education. Many take roles in personnel departments of corporations and their superior people skills set them up well for roles in management.
  • Social science graduates may have developed knowledge and skills that could help them work in human resources, event management or the security services.
  • Health science graduates typically move into corporate or government roles where they are involved in promotion of health initiatives, administration, or research - however, they may have a good foundation for developing a career in counselling, education or sport.

In today’s world some things are changing faster than ever before. This is particularly true of advancements in science and technology. The jobs that you find in the future might not have even been conceived of as yet, but there will, no matter what, always be opportunities to mainly work with people, animals, or objects.

A solid grounding in studies which relate to employment in social sciences, health sciences, humanities, medicine, business or other people-orientated sectors will stand any graduate in good stead to meet changing job roles and open doors to new career opportunities for working with others.
