Prerequisites:
The Human Resource Management Certificate Program is an intensive course and will require additional study outside of class hours.
The program is open to those new to human resources, however, you may consider taking the SHRM Essentials of Human Resources course prior to enrolling in the Human Resource Management Certificate Program if you do not have any HR work experience. We recommend a minimum of two years of human resources experience to get the most out of the course. However, be aware that in order to be eligible to sit for the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP exam, you must meet specific educational and work experience criteria. Learn more on the SHRM website.
