About the Human Resources Management Certificate Program

This flexible certificate program is ideal for both seasoned HR professionals and those newly stepping into the field who are seeking to broaden their expertise. Participants can tailor their learning experience by selecting six workshops from a robust menu of timely and relevant topics—ranging from core administrative functions to the complex interpersonal dynamics of managing a diverse and evolving workforce.

With workshops offered in Portsmouth, Manchester, and live online via Zoom, the program is designed to fit your schedule and learning preferences. You’ll have up to two years to complete the certificate, though many participants choose to finish sooner thanks to the wide selection of offerings available each year.

Real Experiences. Real Impact.

  This workshop helped me to realize what I wanted in an organization in terms of employee engagement and a supervisor. It also taught me more about what I wanted to provide to others as a leader and was the catalyst for me making a much-needed shift in my career.
