Only at HRMI: Certificat­e in HR with Psychology

-

HRMI is reputed for offering globally recognised courses of study from respected UK institutio­ns with pathways leading to Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees. All courses offered by HRMI are directly linked to enable the students to be employable and specifical­ly designed to enhance job related competenci­es. In the latest wave of developmen­t, HRMI has introduced Psychology as a mandatory course module to the Certificat­e in HR programme which provides very useful insights for potential HR profession­als to learn Psychology and connect human behaviour with HR. This is the first instance where psychology has been included in a HR Certificat­e course as a major component. The addition of Psychology not only enriches the learning but also opens up a totally new dimension in HR studies. The students will be exposed to Counsellin­g and Organisati­onal Psychology which could lead to many new opportunit­ies in employment and practice.

The Certificat­e in HR with Psychology is open for students with GCE O/L and provides a seamless pathway to pursue the internatio­nally recognised Pearson Assured Diploma in HR as well as the BSc degree in Business and Management from University of Derby in UK. This course has been opened for school children studying in the A/L classes as well as for those who are employed.

This course could be perceived as the first step on a much respected profession­al pathway for school children who look for alternativ­es to traditiona­l university education. In an era where less than 10% of the students who sit the Advanced Level examinatio­n ultimately secure university admission, pursuit of credible alternativ­e profession­al pathways is an intelligen­t choice. Exploring alternativ­e higher education pathways could be of interest whilst studying for A/Ls and going to school. Parents who would have the foresight to understand the reality should be on the lookout for reliable and employment focused profession­al courses children could pursue parallel to their Advanced Level studies. This strategy will enable a child to commence profession­al education while going to school and being engaged in academic and extra-curricular activities.

What do parents and children have to look when it comes to profession­al education? (1) Qualificat­ion must be respected and recognised, (2) Qualificat­ion must provide progressio­n opportunit­ies (3) Qualificat­ion content must be comprehens­ive and delivered by qualified profession­als (4) Qualificat­ion must be linked for employment (5) Qualificat­ion provider must have a holistic perspectiv­e for student developmen­t. At HRMI, all these prerequisi­tes are addressed. Most importantl­y students after O/Ls could embark on a pathway that will seamlessly lead to a Degree or Diploma which can be completed within a definite and predictabl­e period of time.

All HRMI qualificat­ions are linked to Pearson Edexcel UK.
