Diploma of Human Resources Management BSB50607

Overview

The Diploma of Human Resources Management program is designed for HR administrators, HR specialists and managers. This is a generalist course and participants can come from any industry or organisation. Human resource management encompasses a wide range of knowledge and managerial skills. This course covers the breadth of the role – from workplace planning, through recruitment, selection and induction of staff to employee negotiations, including the IR environment and performance management systems. Case studies draw on the public service and government contexts.

Learning approach

This course draws on a text that has been written for the Australian HR practitioner. Participants receive the reference text prior to the course for pre-reading.

The course delivery is over 8 days, face-to-face, in two blocks of 4 consecutive days. There is a 10 week gap in between blocks with participants completing readings and project based exercises to put the theory into practice.
