Course Description

This programme prepares students for careers in human resources, and it is built around the view that human resource specialists must also have good business acumen. The curriculum provides a balance of business and general education requirements, along with foundational courses in human resources areas. The design of the qualification is such that if taken sequentially with related N courses i.e., N4 – N6, it enables learners to progressively obtain the National N Diploma once the required practical work component is completed.
