Testimonial
"If you are considering a future, or possibly already working within HR and wish to formalize your experience with an academic qualification, the CHRP at Nottingham Trent University is a fantastic option to consider.

Personally I have worked within Recruitment and Selection for a number of years and felt that I lacked the insight and technical knowledge used within modern HR models.

The CHRP course is well designed and challenging, it requires commitment, dedication and of course the investment of time. Having completed and passed the course I can guarantee that the rewards make the personal investment worthwhile."
