Overview

For those with limited or no grounding in the fundamentals of HR management, this Introduction to Human Resources course provides an insight into key areas of recruitment, employee relations, employee development and performance management. Underpinning all of this is a framework for understanding employee rights and employer responsibilities in the context of current UK legislation.

This introductory course will provide the core knowledge to tackle human resources issues and give professional advice with confidence.

Simple to arrange and highly effective - you can choose to run this course exactly as described or we can create a customised solution that meets your specific needs.

As a general rule, if you have four or more employees with similar learning needs, an in-company programme will be the most efficient and cost-effective choice for you. Learning is usually delivered at your premises.

Our specialist facilitators are experts in their respective fields, and can tailor our existing courses to suit the specific needs of your organisation - or alternatively, design courses and programmes that are entirely bespoke, crafted in response to the unique requirements of your business.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
