Human Resource Management at Red Deer Polytechnic at Main

Upon successful completion of this graduate certificate program, offered over 2 years, graduates will have the knowledge and practical skills to work as Human Resources professionals in a variety of Human Resource settings. 

This program will also prepare graduates for the Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) designation. The program has been specifically developed to align with the Human Resources Institute of Alberta accreditation framework. Graduates of an accredited program who achieve a minimum overall average of 70% (2.7 GPA) in the program may apply to the CPHR to waive the National Knowledge Exam (NKE) requirements towards the CPHR designation with Chartered Professionals in Human Resources Canada (CPHR) member associations. Graduates who do not achieve a minimum overall average of 70% in the program will be better equipped to write the National Knowledge Exam in preparation to obtain the CPHR designation. The entrance requirement of an undergraduate degree in any field ensures that students in the program will receive instruction commensurate with their background.
