NCI Course Details

On completion participants will be able to deal with such issues as poor performance, dismissals, redundancies, equality and organisational climate. An innovative assessment structure is in place which promotes both the understanding of academic principles and the application of skill. Assessment is by means of skills demonstration, written projects and case assignments.

Upon successful completion of the certificate, graduates will be exempt from two modules of the (CIPD) Diploma in Professional Human Resource Practice. Note that the Certificate in Professional Employment Law & Practice is a short programme, and further modules are required to gain CIPD accreditation.
