Important: not professional advice
This course teaches how to use AI tools in HR and people-management work; it is not employment law advice and does not substitute for advice from qualified HR or legal counsel. The certificate confirms lesson completion and a passed exam only — it does not confer a professional HR qualification, licence, or recognition by any employment-law regulator or professional body.
