PRACTITIONERS DIPLOMA IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
 

Before launching the HRM Practitioners Diploma, ABE consulted with the HRM specialists and the university lecturers to produce a qualification that meets the needs of employers and can also offer progression to higher education.

Programme Objectives:

  • Give those who complete the qualification competence in the theory, procedures and practice of Personnel Administration and Human Resource Management
  • Qualify them to work in a Personnel or HRM Department
  • Enable them to proceed further with their studies and enhance their career prospects

Target Market:

  • Employees working within the HRM function but wishing to improve their skills and knowledge
  • Managers who wish to become even more effective practitioners in human resource management and development within their departments
  • People drawn from other parts of the working environment who aspire to enter the HRM function
