To gain this nationally recognised qualification, you’ll need to have completed 12 units of competency on the following topics:

CertIV-HRM-graph2

There are no pre-requisites for entry into the program. However, if you are not currently working in an HR-related role, AHRI strongly encourages studying via virtual workshop delivery, which gives you the opportunity for facilitator-led sessions and peer discussions.

Virtual workshops (which are facilitator-led) are confirmed once AHRI receives a minimum number of enrolments. If virtual workshop delivery is cancelled, you can transfer to distance delivery (which is self-directed) and receive a refund of the cost difference, or you can defer your enrolment or request a full refund if you do not wish to study in a self-directed manner.
