What will you finish with?
The Certificate in People Management is different from tertiary study as you need to be working in a role where you can apply what you’re learning, rather than covering theory.
You’ll work through case studies and review your own workplace practices so that you get as much experience as you can, to deliver effectively in real life. Once you’ve completed your final assessment you will be awarded your certificate.
