FAQs

What are the benefits of enrolling in a Short Course in Human Resources?

Our BSBSS00105 - Human Resources Foundation Skill Set serves as a helpful stepping stone into the human resources industry - particularly for those new to the field and starting with zero experience. The course explores the fundamental concepts, practices, and skills required of a general HR role, helping you build the experience necessary to pursue further studies or explore entry-level job opportunities in the market. With a completion time of up to six months, it's an ideal course for aspiring HR professionals or those seeking a career change.

Its online delivery also allows you to flexibly train at a time, place, and pace that suits your learning needs best; and helps you balance both your studies and other personal life commitments.

What is a Statement of Attainment?

A "statement of attainment" (SOA) is a document students receive verifying the units of competency they've completed as part of a nationally-recognised course.

In contrast to certificates, which are issued when a student completes a full set of study modules within a given course - SOAs are given when the student completes one or more of these units of competency, but not the entire list required for a full qualification. These documents essentially serve to showcase the specific units of competency a student has completed within a nationally-recognised training course.

What is a Skill Set?

A skill set, consisting of accredited units of competency, is a focused and specialized collection of skills and knowledge aimed at enhancing employment opportunities. By developing and building on existing skills or upskilling in a new area, skill sets provide individuals with the necessary expertise to enter their desired industry.

Studying a skill set offers several advantages, including gaining specialized skills, the opportunity to trial a full qualification before committing to the entire course, and receiving a Statement of Attainment upon completion for resume enhancement. Skill sets are ideal for time-constrained students seeking valuable core skills without excessive costs.
