Tutor-Led Foundational Reward Standards

 

The Foundational Reward Standard (FRS) modules have been refreshed with the intention of benefitting aspiring reward professionals by providing a solid foundation and framework for designing reward practices, policies and processes.

Completion of the course/s also serves as preparation for embarking on the GRP Certification Pathway and a Certificate will be issued after completion of each course/s.

We invite you to attend physical tutor-led courses for the following modules, participation in all courses is not compulsory. You may attend those course/s that align with your needs.
