Every business needs someone on people.

Every business hires, onboards, manages performance and deals with employment law, and somebody has to own it. This skill set gives you the four units employers look for when they hire that person, with no prior HR experience needed.

HR skills travel. Professional services, retail, healthcare and aged care, logistics, hospitality, tech, government and not-for-profits all hire HR staff, and all four units credit straight into the BSB50320 Diploma of Human Resource Management when you want to go further.

4 units. Your pace.

4 nationally recognised units taken straight from the BSB40420 Certificate IV in Human Resource Management, all online, all on your phone or laptop. You get up to 4 months, and most students wrap it up well before that by knocking over a unit at a time.

How much time?

2 focused hours a week builds strong momentum.

Fit it around shifts, uni or a full-time job, or knock over a unit in one solid weekend session. Consistency beats intensity, and our local team is with you the whole way.

Curriculum

Built around real HR tasks.

Recruitment and onboarding, employee and industrial relations, learning and development, and performance development. Every unit maps to something an HR coordinator is asked to do in week one.

  • Coordinate recruitment and onboarding BSBHRM415
  • Support employee and industrial relations BSBHRM412
  • Support the learning and development of teams and individuals BSBHRM413

Common questions.

It is enough to get interviewed, which is the real barrier. Entry level HR roles are competitive because everyone applying has enthusiasm and nobody has evidence. Four nationally recognised units from the Certificate IV in Human Resource Management give a hiring manager something to point at.

It is a foot in the door, not a career. Anyone telling you a short course makes you an HR manager is selling you something.

Ready when you are.

Enrol online in a couple of minutes, or send us a question first and get a straight answer from a real person the same day.
