Course introduction
Eligible for an NUS TOTUM Student card with this course.
For a business to be sector leading, it needs to be at the top of its game in every aspect, including how it manages its resources and people.
Human resource departments are at the forefront of managing people and other resources within a business. To do this, a business needs a human resource specialist, someone who is skilled and up-to-date with the latest regulations, employment laws and policies.
Department leaders and managers are responsible for the effective day-to-day running of a business. It is the Human Resources (HR) Department that recruits, trains, supports and develops employees. They are also the department to whom others turn when there is a need for disciplinary or dismissal procedures required.
In larger businesses, there will be a separate department needed to manage the day-to-day processes within human resources but in smaller businesses, human resources is a responsibility often tagged onto to someone’s role.
That someone could be you, especially after completing a Human Resources Diploma.
Our diploma has a broad base, allowing you to become familiar with all the necessary functions, skills and attributes of recruiting, training, developing, supporting and dismissing people;
- The recruitment, selection, and induction of staff is essential in bringing the right people into your organisation
- Producing and maintaining personnel records is important for your business and your employees
- Managing staff and relationships requires diplomacy and tact, along with other skills as detailed in this module
- Support, training, and development are key to ensuring the right people stay with your business and that they upskill so that your business can move forward
- When things go wrong, HR are the people to turn to for advice and action relating to disciplinary procedures, grievances, and tribunals
- And finally, terminating someone’s employment must be done correctly and within current employment law

FAQs
NCC originally stood for the National Consortium of FE (Further Education) Colleges. This brought together the FE Colleges to achieve the best provision. Regular national meetings were attended by both Colleges and Government agencies who funded them. This was very helpful to them both to best deliver training to their students.
For more than 25 years NCC has supplied FE Colleges with learning materials as well as student marketing.
NCC now specialise in online training of a very high quality to students both self-funded, paid for by schools, employers and training providers.
Distance learning is the most flexible and convenient approach to studying. There is no need for you to attend college and you can study anytime, anyplace, anywhere that fits in with your lifestyle. Distance learning programmes are ideal for people who may have a job, family commitments, or any other commitment that won’t allow them time off to study.
Both our online and paper courses are completed via an online learning portal (LMS) which you can access after you receive your login details by email. Please ensure that you check your junk email if you do not receive your login details within 48 hours.
All learners will submit their assignments, receive feedback and correspond with their tutor directly through the LMS. If you require help from our support team, then simply email [email protected].
If you opt for the online course, you will not receive any course materials through the post. Everything is available via the LMS.
If you opt for the paper version, you are simply paying for a study book to be printed and posted to your home, or place of work. You will use this book as a reference guide, but you will still be required to upload your assignments and correspond with your tutor via the LMS.
If you are unable to access our online LMS, we do have alternative options available, so please email [email protected] in order to request further support.

The price largely depends on the size and duration of the course. The course cost is determined by the expenses associated with its provision, taking into consideration the course's size and complexity, development costs, study materials, and the level of tutor support required. Some courses also necessitate additional in-person assessments by assessors, which incur additional expenses and consequently affect the course's cost.
The cost for each course is always listed clearly on the course description page before you make a purchase.
Additionally, extra fees may apply for courses that require externally monitored assessments (such as A Levels or ICB qualifications). For more details, it's best to consult with one of our course advisors.

We do not require you to complete a credit check to sign up for monthly payments.
We ensure that you will receive your ordered course materials within 5 working days of registration, though for many courses, delivery may take as little as 48 hours.
Your course materials will be sent through a tracked courier service to guarantee delivery of your study book within the specified timeframe.
All the relevant information required to complete your course is available via the LMS. Additional research via the internet is encouraged, depending on the level you are working at, to bolster knowledge of the subject area.
There is no requirement to purchase any additional materials.
You will have access to a dedicated personal tutor whom you can contact through the Learning Management System (LMS) for assistance and guidance on any course-related matters. Your tutor will only initiate contact in response to your messages. If you encounter any difficulties reaching your tutor, please don't hesitate to email us at [email protected].
Many courses require you to submit work to your tutor during the period of study, and your tutor will assess your work and provide feedback to you within 10 working days. Your tutor is available to you as much as you need them.
Please note that the course includes tutor support for a duration of 12 months. If you require additional time, please inform us, and we will make every effort to provide you with an option for a paid extension, if feasible, to assist you in completing your course.
Please be aware that our tutors are actively assisting multiple learners, and to ensure they are not inundated with excessive workloads, we have implemented a policy limiting learners to submitting a maximum of three units of work for evaluation at any given time. We recommend that you upload your completed units as you finish them. This way, you can benefit from your tutor's feedback to enhance your future assignment submissions.
Your work will be marked and feedback returned to you within 10 working days after submission. This is because our tutors are required to provide detailed, considered feedback to our learners that may take a while to formulate. We find that by working this way, our learners actually complete their course in less time, as they rarely need to submit an assignment more than twice.
Whilst it is possible to submit multiple assignments at the same time, we advise that our learners submit only one at a time. We want our learners to develop as they progress through their course, and find this is best achieved when a student embarks on a new module having taken into account tutor feedback from the previous submission.
Kindly note that our tutors are currently supporting multiple learners simultaneously. In order to maintain a balanced workload for them, we have established a policy that restricts learners to submitting a maximum of three units of work for evaluation at any given time.
The time needed to complete your course depends on the specific course you've chosen and the time you're able to dedicate. Generally, it can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 12 months. You'll usually have up to 12 months from the date of purchase to complete your course if you wish to receive your certificate, this is your end of support date.
One of the biggest advantages of distance learning is the flexibility it offers. You can study at your own pace, fitting your coursework around your personal schedule and commitments. There's no pressure—no one will be chasing you to submit work or asking why you haven't turned in an assignment.
That said, we recommend considering your availability before enrolling to ensure you can devote enough time to stay motivated and complete the course within a reasonable timeframe.
All of our courses are fully accredited, and to successfully complete them, you'll need to demonstrate your understanding. Depending on the course you choose, this could involve an examination, but the assessment methods can vary.
For some courses, you'll be continuously assessed throughout your studies, while others may require a final exam or an assignment, which can be done from home and submitted to your tutor.
For specific qualifications like A-levels and GCSEs, you will need to sit invigilated exams at a registered test centre. You'll be responsible for arranging and covering the cost of these exams, but full guidance will be provided by the centre delivering the qualification.
If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to email us at [email protected]. We can help or connect you with the course provider for more details.
All of our courses are accredited and you will receive a certificate upon successful completion of the course.

Yes, you can take as many courses as your time allows, but we would recommend that you clearly evaluate how much time you can commit to your courses of study.

If you decide to enrol on more than one course at the same time, speak to our enquiries team for any bundle deals or offers.
Absolutely! In most cases, our courses are accessible regardless of where you're located. However, some courses may have geographical restrictions set by the Awarding Organisation, and any such limitations will be clearly outlined in the course details.

Easy to navigate, informative and clear.
100%“An excellent way to learn”
NCC Home Learning is an excellent way to learn. The materials supplied are excellent and very clear. You can learn at your own pace with excellent feed back from your tutor support with clear guidance on how to improve your assignments. The learning programme is of high standard. NCC Home Learning have an easy process to submit your work via email or other options if this isn't suitable. I have found them to be helpful and supportive through out the whole process. If your looking for a way to learn that is flexible at your pace and at home then NCC Home Learning is the right pathway for you. I am so glad I've chosen to learn with them and I'm looking forward to completing my qualification with them. Really good service.
80%“Really enjoying the course”
So far Sally and Helen have been very swift to respond and give feedback on my modules. I am really enjoying the course and have already started looking at the HR management course which follows.
100%“Wish to continue learning”
The course has given me valued feedback from my tutor and knowledge to be able to carry out my daily role. I have enjoyed the course and find the modules relevant and effective. I would like to continue with another course in line management and HR in the near future.
100%“Increased Confidence”
I have enjoyed every minute of this course. It was very clear and presented in a way that is easily understandable. I was able to complete it, in my own time, which has been brilliant for me as I work full time and have a family and home to support. In completing this course I have gained a promotion at work, which has resulted in a pay rise, and this has been greatly received and has resulted in me having some much needed home improvement. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, who was looking at taking a role in HR, as this has made me feel more confident in my role. My tutor has been really helpful with any queries that I have had.
The only thing I picked up on whilst doing the course, was that in one part of the course, I think in Module 1, the grammar either didn't make sense, the way it was written or the wrong words were used. For example them was written as that. However this was only a minor thing. I would be interested in more courses with NCC in the future, but for now, thank you for everything.

100%“Enjoyable and straight forward”
I thoroughly enjoyed my course. I found Sally Swift to be very helpful and responsive. She would always respond very quickly to my emails regarding the submission of work or queries. These fast and helpful replies allowed me to progress with my work. I was also very pleased with the quick response and the turn around time from submitting my work to receiving the mark/feedback sheet from Maria Richards. I found that my work was marked and feedback to be me within 2-3 days of submission. All round I found my course to be enjoyable and straight forward. I never felt frustrated or held up because I was waiting for answers of feedback. This meant I was able to work through my course quickly and hassle free.

I found the HR Diploma Level 3 online course to be very educational and an excellent foundation in respect of current day company human resources and I absolutely recommend NCC to all those seriously considering taking a recognised diploma and/or degree qualification.
