Exploring HR Certification Options: Which Online or Abu Dhabi Courses Suit Your Career?

Can someone help me with the details of certification courses in HR which are available online or in Abu Dhabi? I have completed my Masters in Human Resource Management and have more than 4 years of experience.

Hello Adnan,

I am a graduate in Psychology, and I have 5 years of work experience in Abu Dhabi in Administration. I am currently employed as an Office Administrator, and part of my responsibilities would require me to handle HR-related work. Although nothing too technical, I am keen to use this opportunity to enhance my skills and obtain a certification.

An MBA is too expensive, and I find it too general as I am looking for only HRM/HRD certification. The only institute I know that offers that is Middlesex University (MA in HRM). However, recently I have come across the PHR/SPHR certification.

Can you tell me what the difference is between the two, and would it make sense for me to pursue this certification even though I have not done my MBA?

Thanks, Amanda

Hi Adnan,

I joined as a recruitment trainee. I am not from an MBA HR background. I have completed my M.A. in Literature. Could you help me? If I have any doubts, I will email you. I believe you can assist me.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Adnan,

My question is somehow similar to Amanda's. I have a BA in English Literature, and I have worked as an Executive Assistant and Personal Assistant to Directors. Part of my responsibilities was also handling HR-related work. I have 10 years of work experience in the administration field. Although I've been promoted to a customer service manager last year, I still feel like pursuing a career in HR. I need to shape my experience and improve it with a certification. An MBA would be too expensive for me now. I would like to know if there are any institutions or universities in Abu Dhabi that offer HR courses.

To be quite honest, I'm not into online learning. I prefer a classroom setting with interaction with a tutor and a group. Please let me know if there are any institutions in Abu Dhabi that offer evening classes and a certified HR degree at a reasonable cost.

Many thanks.

I need clarification on HR courses. I am an HRMS (IT professional) with 4+ years of experience in implementing/analyzing HRMS systems in different companies in the UAE. I would like to transition into a purely HR functional role, such as an HR generalist. Can anyone suggest if obtaining the CHRP certification would be the right choice to further my career? Currently, I am exploring opportunities and feel that now is the ideal time to pursue additional courses. Please guide me.

Thanks

You can pursue the "Social Media in HR" course, an E-Cornell (Ivy League certification) course offered by Medvarsity. This is an online course where students can learn about developing smart HR strategies using social media platforms and organizing employees in organizations.
