Post-Diploma in Human Resources Management I attended the Continuing Education Human Resources Post Diploma Program starting Fall 2011. The curriculum was very relevant and current to the field of HR. The instructors were so knowledgeable of HR practices and had an abundance of experience to share and draw real life examples from. As an adult learner, I was able to easily relate to the material. I was fortunate to land an HR job during the 9th month of the program. For three months the balance of work and school was a challenge, however I could literally apply what I learned in class to my job the very next day. It was amazing! I since moved into operations management and I owe this promotion in part to what I learned in the CNC HR Post Diploma Program. Regardless of your position in the business world, Human Resources is an asset to specialize in and add to any portfolio. ~ Nikki
