FAQ on the "Certified HR controller" course

Can I only complete the compulsory and elective seminars in the order described?

  • In particular, the seminars in the compulsory seminar block build on each other in terms of content and are methodically and didactically coordinated. Attending the compulsory seminars in the order listed is therefore expressly encouraged and recommended.
    While basic topics are taught in the compulsory seminars, the elective seminars cover more in-depth content, which can be chosen individually according to your interests and desired focus. Please select one of the elective modules. You can attend this independently of the compulsory modules at a time of your choice.

Within what period of time should I have completed all the required seminars of the course?

  • The required compulsory and elective seminars must be attended within a maximum of two years.

Am I assigned to a fixed class group for the Certified HR controller course?

  • This is an "open course", i.e. the seminars include both course participants and individuals who only attend one of the seminars, for example. This ensures maximum flexibility so that every participant can decide for themselves whether to attend the entire course or just individual seminars. This means that the course participants find themselves in new and different group constellations in the seminars.
