Introduction
The Extracurricular Programme in Human Resource Management is proud to introduce
its occupational product offerings in the field of Education, Training and Development,
and Human Resource Management. All current qualifications have been duly reviewed
and adjusted to meet the most updated range of registered qualifications and unit
standards.
Education, Training and Development, and Human Resource Management, are priority
areas in the South African context. The following range of qualifications are meant to
provide recognition to practitioners ranging from entry-level ETD/HR practitioners to
highly experienced OD ETD/HR practitioners. The qualifications will also be valuable
for those who have been practicing within the ETD/HR field, but without formal
recognition, thus making it possible for practitioners to increase their employment
prospects and providing a means whereby organisations can appoint practitioners in
line with proven competencies.
