Course modules
- 01~150min
What HR actually is — beyond paperwork and personnel files
HR isn't just payroll and contracts. It's the function that builds, manages, and protects the most expensive and most valuable resource in any business — its people. This module sets the foundation.
- 02~150min
The employee lifecycle — recruit, hire, onboard, develop, exit
Every employee goes through a predictable journey at your company. Understanding the lifecycle lets you design good experiences at each stage and avoid the failures that produce regrettable turnover.
- 03~150min
Recruiting and hiring — sourcing, interviewing, and offers in the global context
The single most important thing HR does is help the company hire well. Mistakes here cost millions. This module covers job descriptions, sourcing, structured interviewing, references, and offers — all in global context.
- 04~150min
Onboarding and employee experience — making the first 90 days count
Companies with great onboarding retain new hires at 2-3× higher rates than companies with poor onboarding. The first 90 days are the highest-leverage period in an employee's tenure.
- 05~150min
Compensation, benefits, and payroll fundamentals
Pay is the most operationally critical thing HR does — get it wrong and you have angry employees, FIRS penalties, and pension regulators on your case. This module covers the structure, statutory deductions, and international compliance.
- 06~150min
Performance management, training, and development
Once employees are onboarded, they need to perform and grow. This module covers performance reviews, feedback, goal-setting, training programmes, and career development — and the failures that make these systems counterproductive.
- 07~150min
international labour law and compliance — the legal framework HR must master
international employment is governed by laws with real teeth. Get them wrong and you face the National Industrial Court, FIRS, PenCom, data protection authority, or NSITF. This module covers the framework every HR Coordinator must know.
- 08~150min
Tools, careers, ethics, and workplace conflict — building an HR career
You've covered the operational HR work. This module covers the tools, certifications, career paths, ethics, and conflict-handling skills that turn an HR Coordinator into a senior HR professional.
