Dear Surya,
Here are my suggestions for you:
- Be clear why you want to do this course. Is it that you need a premium certificate to propel ahead in your career? Or do you want to learn HR from the gurus who have created one of the best seats for learning? Do not stay disillusioned about the course. There might be a section of people who have gained financially post this certification. But your success will depend on how you learn, use your knowledge to generate values, and how you market yourself as a talent.
- Speak to the HR professionals who hire laterals and not freshers. Take a cross-section of people from large and small companies to identify the market value. Remember, the data that you collect is relevant to the current market and a perceived one that is supposed to be in the years to come.
- Connect with those who have already completed this course. You would find them through the center where you want to enroll. Ask them for the contacts of their ex-students. Talk to them and understand what the takeaway from this course will be. How much effort and dedication does it require to finish this course? The hours of study and fees are easy to find. But get into the focus it requires to graduate. Only those who have completed it can share that. Check if you are emotionally and mentally prepared to take on such a challenge.
- My suggestion is to focus on learning. The market value is not a promise. But the intellectual development that you will gain from this course is your real takeaway. Every course requires a definite amount of investment and an enormous amount of focus and dedication. This course will require you to study for endless hours, brainstorm, and create new realities with your intellectual development. Define a goal for yourself and keep it real. Don't imagine shooting your salary up by 100% just because of this certification. Instead, be clear on what you would want to do once you are certified. Let the money and the market value become one of the results of your work.
Hope this helps you to think and work further.
