Considering an HR Training Course in Delhi NCR? Seeking Advice on Reputable Options and Career Impact

Hello Dear Members, I am very new here and would like some valuable advice regarding my career. I am presently doing my PGDM (distance) from a reputed institute and would like to know if I should join an HR Training Course in Delhi, NCR, which offers 1-month hands-on training. Most of them seem a little shoddy... (sorry, but it's true). Are there any reputable ones? Most of them promise job placements, but I'm not so sure.

I have no experience in HR per se, but I have vast industry knowledge in aviation, KPO, and advertising. Yes, I am a late bloomer when it comes to career choices :) but I know HR is my calling. So, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, all, and a Very Happy New Year 2013!

Hi Simhan, the hands-on training would set me back by $300.00 for a 1-month workshop, at the end of which I would receive a certificate and some training on payrolls, etc. Would you advise it, or should I keep trying my luck at getting an entry-level position with any recruitment consultant?

Thank you for your time and insight; it's greatly appreciated.

Thank you, srinivaskvmk, for your encouraging words! I'm in the middle of my exams, therefore the late response. Well, like I mentioned before and at the cost of sounding redundant, I really want to etch a career for myself in the field of HR. I have been Googling a lot lately and have gained some insight into the vast field.

In the future, I plan on obtaining a certification from SHRM or, if possible, from CIPD. However, the biggest stumbling block for me is that all these certifications require a minimum of at least 2 years of experience in the industry. At the advice of some, I have started looking for jobs as a Recruiter. Here too, I face the same dilemma.

Plan of Action for the Coming Months

1. Join one of these so-called HR Training Courses (e.g., Asiawebmedia) which provide practical training (1 month) and a certificate (attended workshop).

2. Join an HR consultancy firm (e.g., InHusys) during my last semester so I can complete my Project work and hopefully get placed.

Any guidance would be of great value. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
