  • Course Levels Explained

    Our HR courses lead to the awarding of either a Diploma or Advanced Diploma, depending on which level you enroll at. The different levels are determined by the amount of course content and assessments involved within each module at the intermediate (Diploma) and advanced (Advanced Diploma) levels. Learn more about the differences between the two levels below:

    Diploma

    These qualifications recognise graduates’ capacity for initiative and judgement across a broad range of technical and management functions. Diploma holders typically have personal responsibility and autonomy (semi-independence) in performing technical operations or organizing others in the workplace.

    Advanced Diploma

    The graduate is able to apply a significant range of principles and techniques across various contexts and functions. Graduates can expect to be involved in significant judgements, planning and leadership/guidance functions that relate to workplace products, services, operations or procedures.

  • Prerequisites

    There are NO previous work or education requirements for entry into either course level. You can enroll directly in the Diploma or Advanced Diploma without completing lower ranked qualifications.

    Graduates can expect higher course levels to result in a higher potential salary, positions and skill capabilities.

  • Course Length

    The average time within which students complete their studies is:

    Diploma Level24 weeks
    Advanced Diploma Level31 weeks

    However, one of the advantages of taking an online HR course with ICI is the fact that you get to determine your own timetable. Without any assessment deadlines to worry about, you can work at your own pace.

    If you wish to complete the learning programme as quickly as possible, you can graduate in a matter of months. Alternatively, you can take your time. We allow students up to three years to finish our HR courses.

  • Study Mode: Online Learning

    Our HR courses are carried out entirely online via distance learning. Also sometimes called correspondence learning, this approach gives you the flexibility you need to fit your studies around existing commitments. So, whether you need to adapt your schedule around a full or part-time job, childcare commitments or anything else, you can do so with ease.

    You have total control over when and where you study, meaning you can complete the programme from anywhere in the world – all without having to spend time and money travelling to attend classes in person. And throughout your course, you will have access to your own personal tutor to provide advice and answer any questions you may have.
