Training is fully hands-on: participants work with real employment contracts, HR letters, leave records and checklists they can take back and use immediately. The course is an ideal first step towards our Diploma in HR Management, pairs naturally with our Recruitment and Selection Course, and can be delivered in-house through our corporate training solutions.
