Developing Competencies for HR Success Online Training
(11 Weekly Sessions)

While covering the 20 competencies, you will learn about self-assessment, building teams and coaching staff, resolving disputes and reaching consensus, creating a risk-taking environment, communication skills, building trust relationships, using consensus- and coalition-building skills, and more with IPMA-HR’s Developing Competencies for HR Success.

The training culminates in a multiple-choice exam that is used to assess understanding of the importance of HR competencies to the success of HR professionals. A passing grade on the final exam is just one of the requirements for the successful completion of the IPMA-CP or IPMA-CS certification program.
