The Certified Human Resources Analyst (CHRA) program is a practical, career-enhancing certification designed for HR professionals who want to move beyond day-to-day administrative tasks and become trusted partners in delivering structured, reliable, and business-relevant HR information and insights. The course develops well-rounded HR Analysts who combine solid understanding of HR processes with analytical thinking, clear reporting, process improvement skills, and effective communication — enabling them to support HR teams, business units, and leadership with accurate data, meaningful explanations, and actionable recommendations. The program stands out for its strong practical orientation. Participants work on realistic HR scenarios, build standard reports, analyse common business questions (e.g., “Why is turnover increasing?”, “How effective is our recruitment process?”, “Where are our cost drivers?”), redesign processes, and prepare executive summaries — all using tools most organizations already have.

• Serve as the reliable “go-to” person for accurate HR information and trend analysis

• Produce consistent, high-quality recurring and ad-hoc reports that leadership and HR business partners can trust

• Identify process inefficiencies, duplication, and improvement opportunities across HR operations

• Support data-driven decision making without requiring advanced statistical or programming skills

• Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to both HR colleagues and line managers

• Contribute meaningfully to HR projects, system rollouts, policy updates, and organizational changes

• Build a strong foundation for future career progression into senior analyst, HRBP support, workforce planning, or specialist roles
