Are you thinking of enrolling to study Human Resource Management and wondering what subject you need to make the entry requirements? No need to worry any further? Here is a breakdown of everything you need to know to make an informed choice.

What is Human Resource Management?

Do you love working with people and think of yourself as a natural born leader? Human Resource Management takes care of a company and its employees. Doing this means that a company will be successful. Human Resource Management is involved in many different things such as the hiring of new staff, solving disputes between employees, solving disputes between employees and management, training the staff, payroll and much more. You’ll learn how to do these tasks from Human Resource Management Courses. 

Human resource managers are responsible for hiring staff, ensuring employees get trained and ensuring all labour laws are abided by.  For more on the roles and responsibilities of a Human Resource Management have a look here

What are my Options?

Before settling on a course it is important that you know which programmes are available to you and what their entry requirements are. There are a range of Human Resource Management Courses that you can pick and choose from. Skills Academy offers NATED as well as provider program courses for Human Resource Management. You might be asking yourself what the difference is between these two? Both types of programmes have a range of positives you can benefit from and it is important to choose an option that best suits your individual needs. 

NATED COURSES

Students enrolling for the Human Resource Management are exposed to the four main areas of Human Resources, namely, the provision of manpower, maintenance and utilisation of staff and  development. The course also offers the students the opportunity to do an in-depth study into labour relations. NATED Courses are designed to be built on, so you will first complete the N4 Human Resource Management Course and then ultimately move on to the N6 Human Resource Management Course. This is a great option if you want accredited qualifications. 

To enrol into these courses you must have a Grade 12 or equivalent certificate. No matric? No problem! Skills Academy can help with that. If you are set on enrolling into the NATED Human Resource Management Course and you do not have matric you can always enrol to complete your matric with us. You can enrol regardless of age or current qualification. Do not allow a matric certificate to hinder your  dreams. 

Provider Programs

Provider Programs are courses that are developed by the college or institution themselves. This means all the coursework and textbooks are developed and produced by them. Skills Academy offers Business Management as a provider program as well. Provider programs are usually career and skilled-focused courses and prepare you for the work environment. For more on what provider programs are and what you can expect have a read here.

What are the entry requirements into these courses and what subjects do you need to enrol? None. It’s that straightforward. We want to open the doors of learning to all and believe everyone should have the opportunity to better their qualifications. This is why there are no specific entry requirements to these courses and anyone can apply – regardless of age or current qualification. These courses are offered in English and you must make sure you can read, write and understand English before enrolling. 

Now that you know what your options are you can make an informed decision on which route you would like to take. Remember if you do not qualify for certain entry requirements you can always apply for our adult matric or matric upgrade options.
