Since 2010, hundreds of professionals have enrolled in Graduate School USA’s Certificate of Accomplishment in Human Resources Management. This three-level program consists of courses that are practical, job-related, and federal-specific, with a focus on the real issues that confront contemporary HR practitioners and managers.

Courses required for the Level I Certificate cover the conceptual, technical, and procedural knowledge and skills needed by the successful HR practitioner. The Level II Certificate courses build on these concepts and significantly broaden and expand the student’s competencies. Level III courses further develop the analytical and consulting skills that equip the HR practitioner

to serve as a valuable advisor to management. The HRM Certificate program includes classroom and distance education courses. Level I of the program may be completed entirely by distance education.

Graduate School USA classroom courses are enhanced by instructors who know firsthand the issues faced by today’s human resources managers. Our distance education courses provide students with an alternate method to satisfy the requirements of the certificate program.
