Program details

Overview

The Human Resources Management Certificate is a part-time online program of nine eight-week courses covering talent management, employee relations, workplace wellness and strategic HR planning, taught by industry practitioners. The program is accredited by CPHR British Columbia & Yukon, and graduates with a B- average or higher may apply for exemption from the CPHR National Knowledge Exam.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires Grade 12 or its equivalent, or at least five years of work experience in place of that credential. The program page itself sets an advanced-level English requirement, recommending an IELTS Academic overall band score of 7.0. Some prior experience in a people-focused role, such as customer service, or in a professional or business setting, is recommended but not stated as a strict prerequisite. There is no formal application deadline: applicants may take individual courses and apply to the certificate at any time, and a non-refundable $99 program application fee applies when the formal application is submitted.
