Hi,
Introducing myself, I am Shobha from Bangalore, working as a Technical Consultant. I have been working for the last 7 years, during which the last 2 years have involved recruitments in both IT and ITES. Now, I want to transition into a Generalist profile. To support this goal, I am planning to take an HR course from HR House Bangalore. Can anyone provide information about HR House? Is it reputable? What are the prospects of such a course? Is it worth enrolling in?
I would greatly appreciate a response from you.
Thanks,
Shobha

Hi Shobha,
Even I was in the same situation. I was a System Admin and EDP executive, both roles were technical. I learned Payroll while working as an EDP Executive. I had around 8 years of experience in EDP. I felt that some courses on HR would help me in getting an HR job. Moreover, I didn't do an MBA or a diploma course in HR.
I joined HR House in the Koramangala Branch. Our batch was the first at that branch. They gave a bit of an idea about HR and IR. They assured us that they would provide job opportunities, but none of our batch mates got a job from HR House.
Later, I pursued my MBA through distance learning from Madras University and with a lot of effort, I gained knowledge in HR and compliance.
In fact, I joined a consultancy firm for a lower salary than I was drawing to gain experience. I worked at that consultancy office for 1 year and gained sufficient knowledge in Payroll, compliance, and statutory requirements.
Now, I am working as an HR/Admin Manager for a small IT industry.
In my case, and for other individuals, HR House didn't help. I am not saying it is not useful, but you should put effort into learning the Generalist role.
All the best 🙂

Dear Shobha,
There are 2 prospects for your query. Whether you want to go for a business school which has a name in the market and is not AICTE or UGC approved. Ideally, there are many business schools which do not have the above affiliation but offer a good quality of education and are well-paid in the market because of their curriculum, which is based on industry specifications, i.e., preparing people for the job. The choice remains with you.

Hi Shoba,
If you are planning to do a short-term course, and if I am correct, it would be a certification course. Below mentioned are a few courses in HR that I have completed, and you could opt for one of them:
- Certified Trainer and Facilitator
- Certified Learning and Development Manager
- Certified Compensation and Benefit Manager
- Certified Recruitment Analyst / Psychometric Test Professional
- Certified Performance System Analyst
- Certified Employment Law Professional
Apart from these, you could also try:
- Thomas Profiling
- NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
- Landmark Forums
I hope this information is helpful for you in choosing a suitable course for yourself. Let me know if you need more details or assistance.
Best regards,

Hi Coolhero,
Thanks again for the prompt reply :)
To be frank, I am looking for a course that would teach me the responsibilities of a Generalist, i.e., if I can put it this way - an "All in one" kind of course.
Also, do you have any idea about the courses offered by HR House? I would be grateful if you could help me out with this.
Thank you.

Hi Shoba,
A General HR profile covers a wide spectrum of HR activities. Any management course you take in HR will touch upon activities related to the General HR profile from a theoretical standpoint. What I mean to say is, for instance, if you have to face a compliance audit by a labor officer, studies will help you understand the acts and laws. However, dealing with a labor officer requires interpersonal skills, communication, and negotiating skills, which you can only gain through practical experience in handling these issues. I would suggest taking a course in HR to enhance your knowledge.
I am based in Mumbai and have no idea about HR House.

Hi Dev,
That's right. There's a huge difference between theoretical and practicality. And that is where I am confused. I already hold a PG Diploma in HR. That was done through distance learning from Symbiosis. During those days, books were read just to get through the exams and earn a degree, not to gain knowledge, at least in my case.
So, what I have thought out is to re-read those HR books and simultaneously do a course at HR House. Once done with the course, I am blank about where to start. Would you mind sharing your path after the certifications you mentioned? Are you currently working in a Generalist profile?
