Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

The Jobs Nobody Trained You For

Hiring, difficult conversations and complaints tend to land on people who were never shown how. This shows you.

Useful Before the Title

You do not need to run a team. Supervisors and coordinators use most of this in a normal week.

A Step Toward the HR Desk

If you want to move sideways into people work, this is a short, cheap way to test it.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Most people reach HR sideways, from admin, retail or a team lead role. The work is hiring, onboarding, records and the conversations in between.

HR Assistant

Records, contracts and the day to day of a people team.

Recruitment Coordinator

Ads, shortlists, interviews and offers.

Onboarding Specialist

Getting new starters useful in their first month.

Training and Development Support

Booking, running and tracking staff training.

HR Systems Administrator

The software behind leave, payroll data and reporting.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. The training here is not nationally recognised. Employment law advice sits with qualified advisers, not with an HR assistant.

Why This One

What Makes It Different

HR is mostly the awkward parts of a workplace, handled well. Recruitment, safety, training and discipline sit next to the communication skills that make them survivable.

01
Discipline Done Positively

Positive discipline, grievances and complaints get their own topics, not a footnote.

02
Safety and Reporting Included

Workplace health and safety, plus monitoring and reporting, sit inside the same course.

03
Employment Law Reference

Titles on employment relations, bullying and harassment, and workplace behaviour come with it.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need HR experience?

None, and no HR job title either. It assumes you are starting from a normal workplace.

Do I have to be a manager?

You do not. Supervisors, coordinators and team leads get as much out of it.

How long does it take?

Six months of access, and around one hundred and forty hours of work.

What does it cost?

From $29 a week on a payment plan. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or pay upfront. No deposit and no credit check.

Does it cover employment law?

It gives you the reference titles and the grounding. Actual legal advice on a case still belongs with a qualified adviser.

Is payroll covered?

Not as software training. Reporting and records are covered, but payroll processing is a separate course.

What recognition does it carry?

You finish with a Certificate of Achievement, and the college is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office. It is not a registered training organisation, so the training is not nationally recognised. For HR support roles, employers tend to weigh what you can handle on the day.

What if it is not for me?

There is a ten day cooling off period at the start, with money back inside it. Ask an advisor how it works.
