Our Mission: Focusing on Our Students & Delegates & Their Sponsors

HRODC Postgraduate Training Institute’s Mission has, for the Decades of its existence, been to provide the opportunity for both Private and Public Sector Organisations to enhance their Micro and Macro Organisational Development Effort, through the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) of their employees, with the opportunity for the latter to heighten their productivity and career prospects.  A Postgraduate-Only Institution, we respond to the desire of Engineers, HR Professionals, Metrologists, Accountants and Financial Specialists, Corporate Executives, Divisional and Departmental Managers, Team and Project Leaders, Legal and Administrative Support Personnel, among others, to gain Postgraduate Qualifications, without losing track of their occupational commitment.

To this end, we provide over 60 Specialist Postgraduate Diploma Programmes, with more than 800 Diploma – Postgraduate – Short Courses, which accumulate to a Postgraduate Diploma. The 2 Delivery Modes, for its Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma:

Full-Time - 6 weeks for Postgraduate Certificate; and months for Postgraduate Diploma, both based on tuition of 6 hours of direct lecturer contact, 5 days per week (= 30 Credit-Hours);

Video-Enhanced Online - 10 weeks for Postgraduate Certificate, and {20-weeks for Postgraduate Diploma. This duration is based on 3 hours per day, 6 days per week.

These measures seek to, simultaneously, facilitate effective Career Advancement and Organisational Effectiveness.

 

Our stringent Employee Resourcing Policy and Practice have endowed us with a cadre of highly committed and quality-conscious Academic and Administrative Staff, enabling us to maintain our robust quality standard, dispensing a superb level of care and support, to our culturally diverse delegates and students.

Our focus, therefore, is on:

  Continuous Professional Development (CPD);

 Management Development; and

 Executive Development,

Towards Career Enhancement and eventual Organisational Effectiveness, achieved through Micro-Organisational Development and Macro-Organisational Development effort.
