Who it’s for

HR training that fits where you are in your career

HR freshers and MBA students

Walk into your first HR job knowing the basics.

College covers the theory. These courses cover the work: what goes into an offer letter, how a full and final settlement is calculated, and what to do when an employee raises a complaint. Add the certificates to your resume and LinkedIn as you finish them.

What makes Niyuk Academy’s HR courses different

There is no shortage of HR courses online. Most are long, generic and stop at definitions. We kept ours short and specific, so you finish them and use them.

  • Practical from the first lesson

    Every course is built around tasks you will do at work: a payslip to check, a complaint to handle, a job post to fix. Less theory, more “here is how you do it”.

  • Made by people who build HR software

    The team behind Niyuk HR works with HR teams on hiring, payroll and compliance every day. The courses come from the questions those teams ask us most.

  • Written for India

    PF, ESI, professional tax, the POSH Act and the new labour codes. The examples use Indian rules and Indian salaries, not a generic global template.

  • Free, with a certificate

    No fee, no trial, no card details. Pass the final quiz and download a certificate in your name.

HR keeps changing. New labour codes, new tools, new expectations from people you hire. The teams that cope best are the ones that keep learning a little at a time.

Yes. Every course, every lesson and the certificate at the end are free. You only need to register with your name and email so we can save your progress and put your name on the certificate.

You do. Finish the lessons, pass the final quiz, and you can download a certificate in your name straight away. Most learners add it to their resume and the Licences & Certifications section of LinkedIn.

HR freshers and MBA (HR) students who want job-ready skills, working HR executives who want to learn an area they haven’t handled yet, and founders or managers who look after HR in a small company. You don’t need any prior HR experience for the beginner courses.

Between two and four hours in total, split into short lessons of 10 to 20 minutes. You can stop at any point and pick up where you left off, on your phone or laptop.

The course explains what the POSH Act, 2013 requires from employers, Internal Committee members and employees, and it is a good way to train yourself or your committee. It does not replace the awareness sessions and Internal Committee setup your company is legally required to carry out.

No. The courses teach HR, not a product. Where a lesson shows a tool, it is there as an example, and everything we teach works with whatever software, or spreadsheet, your company uses.
