Brock University's Professional and Continuing Studies (Brock PCS) Professional Certificate in Human Resources is how offering practitioners even more options to pursue their career goals thanks to accreditation from Ontario's human resources (HR) regulatory body and professional association.
"This accreditation demonstrates that our program prepares learners to become valuable contributors to any Human Resources team in Ontario," says Nathan Cheney, Director of Professional and Continuing Studies. "It reflects both the academic quality we bring to our programs and our dedication to offering practical, career-focused learning."
HRPA supports its members through learning opportunities, resources and a strong peer network aimed at enhancing professional practice. Across Canada, organizations rely on CHRP and CHRL certified professionals to drive business growth, support employee potential and bring a people-first approach to the workplace.
The Professional Certificate in Human Resources includes five courses aligned with the educational requirements for CHRP and CHRL designations. Students complete two core courses Human Resource Management and Human Resource Planning followed by three electives from a selection of approved offerings.
"Receiving this accreditation from HRPA confirms that our curriculum aligns with best practices in human resources education," says Barb Mercer, Associate Director of Programming for PCS. "We're proud to support learners aiming to launch or advance their careers in Human Resources."
The certificate is designed to provide participants with a well-rounded, practical understanding of fundamental HR principles, preparing them for success in a wide range of workplace settings.
