Human Resource Management
Overview
The role of the Human Resources Department in organizations has grown exponentially over the last decade. Specialized professional training, such as certification, is critical for those practicing in the Human Resource field, in order to keep pace with the demands of the industry.
Recognized for over ten years as an affiliated university partner by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), the Duke Human Resource Management Program addresses the ongoing challenges of the today’s professional by providing preparation training for both the Professional In Human Resources (PHR) and Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) examination. These national examinations are administered by the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI).
Attention: The SHRM Body of Knowledge will be updated effective January 2012.
Beginning in 2011, exam eligibility experience requirements changed based on level of education. Visit HRCI.org for details.
According to the Human Resource Certification Insitute, "if you're an HR professional, when you become HR certified, you
- show you know the most current principles and core practices of HR management
- become more marketable when you compete for top HR positions
- raise your professional confidence among your staff and your peers"
Utilizing the official SHRM learning system, the Duke preparation program will provide training in the six key areas of human resource management (known as the body of knowledge).
Additionally, the Duke program is offered in a blended learning format of traditional classroom lecture and online tests/exercises that develop specific competencies and decision-making skills.
