The EUAAB Professional Business Courses
Certificate in Human Resource Management
Aim: This certification provides an introduction to the concepts and practices of human resource management and focuses on the management of recruitment, retention and employment cessation.
Certificate Abstract: Recruiting and retaining staff of the right caliber contributes to the achievement of organisational purposes. Staff must make a valued contribution to the work of the organisation. Eventually they will leave, more often than not because they find alternative employment or retire. Occasionally, however, employment has to be terminated. This unit considers how human resource management deals with these aspects of working. However, the focus of human resource management has moved beyond personnel management towards a more proactive approach that, in addition to the traditional roles associated with staff management, also considers how to get the best people and the best out of people so that they work in roles and ways that are closely aligned to organisational objectives. This often leads to the assertion by many senior managers that ‘Our employees are our most valuable resource’. Human resource management takes place against a background of organisational needs, policies and procedures that are themselves shaped by legal and regulatory requirements. The unit therefore gives consideration to the national and European legislation that has, for example, seen the introduction of a range of anti-discriminatory legislation, the significance of which can be seen regularly in high profile and often very expensive court cases. Organisations with effective human resource management policies, processes and practices will have committed, skilled employees who contribute effectively to the organisation. In competitive business contexts this is a significant contribution to maintaining a competitive advantage. Learning outcomes On successful completion of the programme the learner will: 1. Understand the difference between personnel management and human resource management 2. Understand how to recruit employees 3. Understand how to reward employees in order to motivate and retain them 4. Know the mechanisms for the cessation of employment.

Certificate in Corporate Environmental and Social Management
Aim: In this course learners will find that businesses have to do more than make a profit for their owners. They will develop an understanding of sustainable development including the ‘triple bottom line’ of balancing economic, social and environmental issues and the effects this has on business management.

This realisation has been given impetus by increased worldwide emphasis on sustainable development.

Certificate in Managing Communications, Knowledge and Information
|
Aim: The aim of this course is to show how communications, knowledge and information can be improved within an organisation including making better use of IT systems.
Certificate Abstract: This programme recognises that communications do not automatically take place effectively in organisations and that both information and work-based knowledge is often insufficient when decisions are made. Learners will look at how managers can improve the planning of their communications processes as well as their communication skills. Learners will understand why managers need to adopt a more inclusive approach to stakeholders affected by the decisions they make and why they need to network on a more structured basis. The unit also looks at how managers can make the information and knowledge they gain accessible to other parts of the organisation. This course is designed to develop learner understanding of the interaction between communications, knowledge and information. It also covers how IT systems can be used as a management tool for collecting, storing, disseminating and providing access to knowledge and information. |

Certificate in Sales Planning and Operations
Aim: The aim of this programme is to provide learners with an understanding of sales planning, sales management, and the selling process, which can be applied in different markets and environments.
Certificate Abstract: Selling is a key part of any successful business, and most people will find that they need to use sales skills at some point in their working life – if only to persuade or win an argument. For anyone who is interested in sales as a professional career it pays to understand the basics of selling, to practice, and plan. This unit will introduce learners to the theory of selling and sales planning, and give them the opportunity to put their personal selling skills into practice. The unit starts with an overview of how personal selling fits within the overall marketing strategy for a business. Learners will be taken through the main stages of the selling process, and be expected to put them to use. Once they are confident about the selling process, learners will investigate the role and objectives of sales management. This is knowledge that can be applied to a wide range of organisations. Finally, learners will be able to start planning sales activity for a product or service of their own choice – this is another valuable skill that is transferable to many different situations learners may find themselves in as they move into employment or higher education.
