Course Description:
The Graduate Certificate of Business (Human Resource Management) will appeal to people from diverse business backgrounds who have a common goal – to gain a tertiary qualification to improve their management skills and business prospects. The program provides the skills needed for effective human resource management. It can also be viewed as the first step in the ongoing process of postgraduate management education. This is a postgraduate program accredited by Swinburne University of Technology and delivered in conjunction with Swinburne’s TAFE Division. All graduates will receive a Swinburne University of Technology award.
Course Structure:
Each unit in the graduate certificate has two hours of class time one night per week, plus one Saturday or Sunday workshop. Classes are held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5.30 pm to 9.30 pm. The program commences with a one-day orientation program to assist students in their transition to study within the Swinburne postgraduate community. The graduate certificate can also be undertaken as the first stage of the Graduate Diploma of Business (Human Resource Management), which involves a further four units, or the Master of Business (Human Resource Management), which involves a further eight units. The course is available in full-time and part-time delivery modes both online and on campus. Please note: International students are required to study full-time. The program may also be run 'in-house' for organisations where a minimum of 14 candidates are available. Off-campus delivery The online study option provides an excellent alternative to regional and interstate participants as well as those whose work patterns do not support on-campus attendance.
