Program details
Overview
Aimed at managers looking for career advancement, this Langara short certificate gives practical exposure to training in personal and organisational success, developing decision-making capability and showing how managerial choices affect business strategy. All coursework is delivered online and self-paced in an asynchronous format through Brightspace, so learners set their own schedule while still interacting with instructors and classmates. Four required courses make up the credential: Human Resources Management (36 hours), Change Management (12 hours), Performance Management (12 hours) and Labour Relations (12 hours). The minimum duration is one four-month term, with January, May and September starts and up to five years from enrolment to finish. There are no academic prerequisites, individual courses may be taken on their own without a formal program application, and a minimum grade of C+ is required in each required course.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: There are no academic requirements to begin this program. Courses may be taken individually, and students completing the certificate do not need to apply to the program overall, since registration is by individual course. To qualify for the certificate, students must successfully complete all required courses (Human Resources Management, Change Management, Performance Management, and Labour Relations) with a minimum 'C+' grade in each, finishing all requirements within five years of starting (as quickly as one term). No English-proficiency test scores, minimum GPA, or portfolio are specified; delivery is fully asynchronous and self-paced online via Brightspace.
