As the nation continues its drive towards Saudization, PwC’s Academy is launching the region’s first Arabic Human Resource (HR) qualification, supporting the development of emerging Saudi HR professionals. The Associate Professional in Human Resources (aPHRi ™), delivered in partnership with HR certification institute HRCI, is designed to develop core HR management skills, a role critical for business success.

Approved by Saudi Arabia’s Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF), the aPHRi is an internationally recognised qualification that combines live online training in Arabic with comprehensive learning materials. The course provides the foundations of HR management, equipping Saudi’s future HR leaders with the skills and competencies to advance their professional career.

Samar Sayegh, PwC Partner and KSA Academy Leader, said: “Human Resources play a crucial role in business success. Over the past year, we’ve seen this role evolve to lead forward-thinking strategies for the virtual workforce - proving to be the true backbone of every organisation. We’re delighted to bring to the kingdom an internationally recognised HR programme, that supports the Saudization agenda and upskills HR professionals to further their careers.”

“Introducing the Associate Professional in Human Resources™ (aPHRi™) exam in Arabic offers our Middle Eastern colleagues the opportunity to expand their HR knowledge base and practices to benefit their workforce and organizations, says Dr. Amy Dufrane, SPHR, CAE, CEO of HRCI
