A few years HR experience

Our workshops and Certificates build your knowledge but also give you some tools and techniques to get your HR career going.
When you’re building your HR career into HR Advisory or consultant level roles, there are unique challenges that you face. Luckily we’ve got some great learning solutions to help.
As your move into HR Management or HR Business Partner roles, your HR work becomes more strategic. Our workshops and certificates focus on building your strategic skills and knowledge.
Founded in New Zealand in 2006 by Angela and Fraser Atkins, we always had big plans for elephant! We developed and refined our programmes over time then in 2016 we went global. We’ve never looked back and develop all our programmes this way.
We design and run programmes globally with customised parts for each country. And we have local experts facilitate our workshops. You get the best of both worlds.
