How well known is the "HR Manager / Head of Human Resources" course and what is its image among potential employers?

HR-specific further training in higher vocational education and training has existed for around 30 years, initially with national association qualifications and for almost 20 years with federally recognized qualifications. The federal diploma "Head of HR / Head of Human Resources" is the highest qualification of these professional training courses and is equivalent to a master's degree.

For university graduates in business administration, there are other training and specialization options that provide access to management functions in HR. For professionals with sound HR practice and many years of management experience, this higher professional examination is the ideal route.

In job advertisements, both entry routes are often treated equally, with only HR-specific further training and several years of professional experience being required.
