Diploma in Human Resource Management

Why Human Resource Management?

Human resource management is the practice of staff recruitment, training, management, retention, development, and industrial relations.  Human resources functions at the heart of what makes organisations successful, along with the strength of successful employees. 

This Diploma in Human Resource Management is perfect for those who are: 

  • Interested in developing skills in human resource management (HRM). 
  • Eager to gain practical knowledge and understanding of HRM

“HR should help the business to get where we need to be – faster, and in a more efficient way, whilst also taking the time to analyse and influence the strategy itself.” 

 Donal PrioHR Director, Diageo 

Course Overview

This programme aligns HR management with business strategy. If you want to make a real impact on your organisation, this practical and interactive programme will help you make more effective decisions through the application of HR management.

You will have key techniques under your belt to allow you to support strategic HRM decision-making processes for both online and in-person HRM activities.
