Basic course information
The Competency Certificate was created to address the importance of continuous upgrading of people management in any organisation and is best suited for individuals who have grown or are interested into growing into supervisory/team leading/managerial positions (therefore not only for related HR employees but also great for Teachers and school staff) and who are keen to complement their technical skills with a plethora of HR skills. Therefore even beginners are most welcome!
The Competency Certificate offers a pragmatic and tangible effort from FHRD in sustaining and developing Human Resources Development in Malta by directly offering participants the opportunity of a Vocational course to further surface their skills in becoming a full service generalist. To further aid the interested parties, this 48 week programme has been structured to allow participant the flexibility of enhancing one's competences while balancing family and work commitments.

Funding opportunities
Anyone interested in this course who is interested in applying for funding should do so through ETC or CDRT.
