Human resource development programs and courses are designed for students who want to learn about the field of improving the experiences of employees. In their studies, students can explore the ways in which employees are trained and educated to strengthen their abilities.

A course is the study of a particular topic within a wider subject area and is the foundation of a qualification. A typical course includes lectures, assessments and tutorials.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
