HRMI launches concessionary scheme for students

The Human Resource Management Institute (HRMI) has launched a concessionary scheme under which students are offered a discount which amounts to one-third of the course fee on the Edexcel Assured Diploma in Human Resource Management program, as a part of its commitment to help undergraduates and unemployed graduates enhance their opportunities for employment.

The remaining fees can be paid in instalments to reduce the financial burden of the students. Undergraduates or graduates from any stream of study are eligible to apply for the concessionary facilities.

It is a proved fact that accounting, HR and IT qualifications have enhanced the employment potential of graduates. However, this is the first time that a professional institute has launched a concessionary scheme for undergraduates or unemployed graduates, an HRMI official said.

These concessionary terms are applicable for the recently launched Direct Diploma qualification. The new HRMI Diploma does not consist of any stages such as the Preliminary, Foundation or Certificate courses.

Instead students directly undergo an 18-month comprehensive Diploma which also saves time and money from a student's perspective. These developments were initiated following survey among young HR learners and practising professionals which reflected a need for a re-engineered approach to the structure and content of HR learning.

In the new qualification, instead of the sequential learning process, a comprehensive and an-depth qualification has been introduced which will not only contain learning on modern HR applications but also eliminate the unproductive repetitions of the same learning in different stages.

With the GCE Advanced Level examination, students have an opportunity of directly enrolling themselves in the Edexcel Assured Diploma in Human Resource Management program.

The modules include management, human resource management, organisational behaviour, industrial psychology, industrial relations and a research project.
