Starting soon: Human Service Compliance Management – new micro-credential course:
The second course in a new suite of three management micro-credentials is now launching!
This marks the next step in OTC’s transition from the one-year Certificate in Applied Management (CAM) programme to a more flexible model of short, skills-focused management courses. The new special purpose awards equip students with practical management skills that can be built progressively across the three courses or taken individually as standalone CPD opportunities.
Students gain an award - Certificate in Human Service Compliance Management - of 20 credits at Level 6 which may be used, or accumulated with other programmes, to allow exemption/advanced entry onto cognate programmes at the same level.
Modules:
1. Managing for HIQA Regulation and Inspection (10 ECTS Credits)
2. Essential Employment Law (10 ECTS Credits)
The course is delivered in a way that allows you to balance work and family time along with your study commitments. The learning is assessed by written assignments only. No exams!
- Start Date: April 13th, 2026
- Application deadline: Tuesday, April 7th, 2026.
- The online application centre can be accessed HERE.
Note: This course is complemented by an additional OTC micro-credential management programme, namely the Certificate in Human Service Manager Skills.
The third micro-credential (Certificate in Human Service Staff and Resource Management*) is on track to be launched by the end of 2026.
*Subject to QQI validation.
These three accessible and flexible management micro-credential courses combined will equate to a Level 6 Special Purpose Award of 60 credits, the equivalent of the OTC's former CAM course in relation to credits and NFQ level.
Please contact Conor on cmurray@opentrainingcollege.com or phone 086 0756580 (9am-5pm please) if you have any questions about the course or the application process.
