PwC’s Academy has launched the region’s first Arabic human resource (HR) qualification, supporting the development of emerging Saudi HR professionals.
The Associate Professional in Human Resources (aPHRi), delivered in partnership with HR certification institute HRCI, is designed to develop core HR management skills, a role critical for business success.
Approved by Saudi Arabia’s Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF), the aPHRi is an internationally recognized qualification that combines live online training in Arabic with comprehensive learning materials. The course provides the foundations of HR management, equipping Saudi Arabia’s future HR leaders with the skills and competencies to advance their professional career.
“Introducing the Associate Professional in Human Resources exam in Arabic offers our Middle Eastern colleagues the opportunity to expand their HR knowledge base and practices to benefit their workforce and organizations,” said Dr. Amy Dufrane, chief executive of HRCI.
The aPHRi program covers a variety of key knowledge areas, including HR operations, recruitment and selection, employee relations, health and safety, compensation, and benefits, as well as human resource development and retention.
