FAQs

Need help making the right choice? Speak with an admissions advisor or send them a message.

Why should I enroll in this Talent Management & Succession Planning Certification Program?

The talent shortage is projected to reach 85 million people by 2030 (KornFerry, The $8.5 Trillion Talent Shortage). Unsurprisingly, 78% of business executives rank talent management as a priority (Zipdo, Essential Talent Management Statistics for 2023).

Yet only 13% of HR leaders consider their talent management practices ‘excellent,’ while 70% of HR leaders rate their organization’s ability to address their talent needs as ‘mediocre,’ according to the same Zipdo article.

Business leaders are looking toward talent management to ensure that organizations can deliver on their strategic intent, show shareholder value, and remain competitive. And this is exactly what you will learn to do in this online Talent Management & Succession Planning certificate program.

Does this certificate program also cover talent acquisition?

Some of the topics covered in the Talent Management & Succession Planning Certificate Program are also relevant for talent acquisition, such as the Employee Value Proposition and employer branding. However, talent acquisition is not the focus of this program.

AIHR offers a Strategic Talent Acquisition Certificate Program that dives deeper into Talent Acquisition. This can be purchased separately, or you can get access to both programs and more with the Full Academy Access License.

Is there a fixed schedule?

No. This program is 100% online and self-paced! When you learn and how much time you spend each day, week, or month is up to. In total, you will need to invest approximately 35 hours to finish the program and obtain your certificate.

How long do I have access to the program?

Which languages are the courses conducted in?

All courses are conducted in English with English subtitles available.

Is this program the right fit for me?

If you’re not sure if this program is the right fit, we are here to help you determine which program is the right fit for your goals and needs! Simply talk to one of our admissions advisors or send them an email at [email protected].

Do I need any software tools to complete this program?
