Valerie Wong2024-12-12 Been wanting to pursue a certification in HRM due to it's importance in securing better job offers in this competitive industry, put it off for two whole years with self-made excuses such as lack of time and fear of the course being too hard to cope. Stumbled across Eduk8u Grad School and their team has been very patient and accomodating from the beginning, explaining the course progress, and any doubts/questions that I had which finally gave me the push to sign up! Things I absolutely loved about the course is how it can be self-paced to fit my schedule needs, and although the entire course is supposed to take 8-9 months, I've managed to complete it within 7 months which is a total plus for me! I can't thank my lecturer Dr. Roy enough for his endless support and guidance in guiding us through the completion of the course. He made himself as accessible as possible to help his students navigate through challenges which I've never experienced with other lecturers. This course plus his vast knowledge and guidance has led me to a whole new perspective of the modern HR which will be essential in fast changing times. Anyone who's looking to get certified as a HR practitioner, strengthen your career profile and to secure a better job offer, I'd strongly recommend Eduk8u Grad school for their Executive Masters in HRM course as it has helped me so much in my career. Huge thanks to Dr. Roy and his team. Mic L2024-12-11 Signed up for one of the popular and most discussed HR courses with Eduk8U and attended the physical classes over the weekend. The classes were conducted by the Eduk8U founder himself, Dr Roy Prasad who's a well-known corporate figure and an incredible HR leader and practitioner in Asia. Though the classes were full day on a weekend, it didn't feel like the whole day because both days were filled with mind boggling insights of not just the current HR matters but also how HR landscapes would be and taking shape in 2025. The classes were very engaging and interactive as Dr Roy shared many useful HR data, HR best practises and fundamentals, and real life examples to help us visualise and open up our minds as we worked on the multiple case studies and putting what we have learned into applications. The case studies not only offered exchanges of HR practises in different organisations, it also allowed us to interact with our team members (some of them joined virtually) in a more in-depth manner as the activities challenged thought-provoking conversations among us. Made new friends along the way, Reen from the oil and gas industry, including Dr Roy who's full of wisdom and very generous with knowledge. Most importantly, it has opened up my mind to see where my gaps are, what I have fall short of and what a great world HR is out there that I have been missing from! Highly recommended if you want to see more personal growth shaping your career life progressively and upwards!
