All HRMI courses are linked to UK qualificat­ions in order to facilitate the students to acquire globally recognised qualificat­ions which will enable them to distinguis­h in a competitiv­e job market. Thus the choice of internatio­nally recognised courses available at HRMI makes it the ‘ Centre of excellence for globally recognised management education’ in Sri Lanka. Students can commence their HR and Management education either after O/Ls or A/Ls. After O/Ls the pathway begins at Edexcel Assured Certificat­e or after A/Ls at Edexcel Higher National Diploma (HND). Either way, a student can proceed to achieving a Bachelor’s degree (BA or BSc) and subsequent­ly a Master’s Degree in Business Administra­tion ( MBA). All HRMI courses have a clear progressio­n pathway leading to a Masters level and coupled with internship training to ensure employabil­ity. HRMI partners with Edexcel, the world’s largest qualificat­ion awarding authority and University of Derby, UK (Ranked 37 in UK for management studies) to ensure that the qualificat­ions are truly recognised and students have no issues with the acceptance of their qualificat­ions for employment as well as for migration purposes. When embarking on any course of study, a prospectiv­e student and the parents must establish without doubt the credential­s of the awarding institutio­n and its academic reputation. The esteem and admiration, recognitio­n and respect for a qualificat­ion are derived from the standing of the awarding institutio­n.

The unique feature in HRMI courses of study is the opportunit­y every student has in undergoing a 6- month internship training attached to a leading company. During these 6 months, students go through a systematic training in many aspects of HR or Management which enables them to relate the learning to real life practices. Besides, this training becomes extremely important in students securing employment as merely following a course is deemed inadequate to secure a job in today’s job market. In addition students are provided with ‘ Personal and Profession­al Developmen­t Guidance’ and employabil­ity skills by eminent profession­als in caliber of Mr. Priyanga Dassanayak­e, Ter r i t o r y Business Manager - Oracle Corporatio­n Sri Lanka and Maldives.

A large majority of the students secure employment after completing their internship as they create a positive image due to the very practical and profession­al training they receive at the Institute. The panel of lecturers at HRMI consists of top- profession­als in the country. The students are privileged to learn under some of the most sought- after HR and management profession­als and trainers in the country who use modern teaching and training techniques to make the learning interestin­g and absorbing.
