I would highly recommend this program to all HR professionals who are looking at self-development. This is definitely one program you wouldn’t want to miss!” Ms Angela Chua - Gold Medalist, Bachelor of Arts in Human Resource Management with

Organisational Psychology “The Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Human Capital Management (Reward Management) was an excellent choice for me as it not only serves to fortify foundational pillars of HR practice knowledge, but also offers students flexibility in pursuing specialisation of areas of interest. Reward Management had always been an area that I wanted to deepen my professional HR practice in. Apart from reinforcing my HR practice knowledge, I came away better equipped with a more refined understanding of the thought processes that go into building and managing compensation structures. Some lecturers were also skilful in engaging students, and encouraged learning in a more interactive manner. SHRI Academy offers a good springboard for anyone who has an ardent interest in building up HR Management knowledge and in particular, Reward Management, through their PGDipSHCM (Reward Management) program.”

Ms Jaswyn Tan - Gold Medalist, Mike Gorrie HRM Award Medalist, Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Human Capital Management

“Even before my graduation, I was offered a regional HR managerial post with strategic focus, within a global German MNC as they were confident of the course accreditation, and of course that came with a good salary jump.Two years onward, enjoying my management acknowledgement of my deep skill sets. I was all ready to pursue the Master of Science in Human Resources, a 1-year top up course offered by SHRI Academy & Edinburgh Napier University, a prestigious university in UK. Looking back, I am glad that I have chosen SHRI Academy as my education partner. I have enjoyed much acknowledgement and thus, increased my confidence sitting in directors’ meeting.I appreciate SHRI Academy for making this possible for my career journey and hope it will continue to keep up the good work in skilling up the HR community gaining accreditation.”
