Overview
As Asia becomes the economic powerhouse of the world, and globalisation brings enterprises to this continent to capitalise on its growth, it is imminent that corporations not only compete on business grounds but also, for talented employees. Changing nature of work preferences, increasing expectation of the workforce, as well as changes to national policies on the labour market have posed greater challenges to HR professionals. More organisations are feeling the growing importance to establish and maintain an effective and affordable strategy for attracting, engaging and retaining employees. This HR Graduate Certification is a modular programme that is practice oriented and focused for HR practitioners to deepen their knowledge and skills in the discipline so as to develop a viable HR strategy for the present time.

The re-assessment has to be taken within 7 calendar days from the end of the course date. It will be held on a weekday specified by SMU Academy and conducted during office hours. Please note that re-assessment fees are not supported by SSG Funding.

In order to be awarded with HR Graduate Certification, participants are required to complete all 7 modules within 2 years.
For participants who begin their first HR Graduate Certification module in 2023, please note that full certification will only be awarded upon completing 7 modules within 2 years.

These participants are also welcomed to take the additional Module 7 within the candidature period of 2 years. The full certification (if it has not been awarded already), in this case, will reflect all 7 modules.
