New HR Learning Standards from HRMI
Human Resource Management Institute (HRMI) has brought about many new dimensions to HR education in Sri Lanka. The most noteworthy breakthrough is the availability of a seamless pathway for students to complete up to Bachelor’s and Masters’ Degrees in Business Administration. This has been possible due to the excellent partnerships HRMI has established with two big global players in higher education based in UK. The HRMI Lead Partner, Edexcel is UK’s largest awarding institution offering academic and vocational qualifications in more than 150 countries and owned by Pearson, the leading education company in the world. HRMI University Partner, the University of Derby UK has a distinguished history of over 150 years and currently ranked 37 for Business, Management and Marketing by The Guardian. It is one of the highest ranked UK universities offering Degree programmes in Sri Lanka.
ALL courses conducted by HRMI are Assured by Edexcel – Pearson UK and therefore internationally respected and recognised. HRMI is the ONLY Institution in Sri Lanka which conducts Internationally Recognised Human Resource Management courses. ALL HRMI courses are directly linked to Edexcel BTEC qualifications and students have a clear pathway to qualify with Bachelors ( BA / BSc) and Masters Degrees (MBA).
Recently HRMI Reengineered professional qualification pathway by enabling the new comers to the profession directly enroll on the Diploma. Traditionally Human Resource Management education has been a sequential activity where the students are compelled to learn on a stage by stage process. After an extensive survey amongst students and academics, it was found that requiring students to follow several stages results in unproductive repetition of the same learning. The survey revealed that the learning at early stages are incomplete and students who do not proceed to a higher stage are left with inadequate knowledge that may not be sufficient and appropriate for efficient functioning when employed. This repetitive learning causes the students to spend significantly more time and money, thus delaying the ultimate qualifying time. It was also revealed that the repetition of learning results in student dissatisfaction.
HRMI also conducts a Managerial Diploma which is an internationally accepted Edexcel Assured qualification that leads to the Edexcel Level 7 / Pre MBA. The Edexcel BTEC Level 7 Extended Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership is described as the best competency development programme in strategic management available in Sri Lanka today. This is specifically designed to enable functional managers and executives to equip themselves with knowledge of strategy to empower them at the next level in the hierarchy. This Edexcel Level 7 programme is classified in the ‘UK Qualification and Credit Framework’ (QCF) as a Masters Level / Post Graduate qualification facilitating students to gain direct admission to the Research Stage in the prestigious and highly respected Derby MBA. This is the only course available in Sri Lanka that comprehensively covers all aspects of Strategy. Please visit www.hrmi.lk or call 077 2204101 or 071 2724425 for further details.
