How is the Body of Competencies structured?

The BoC is organised into three competency areas represented in the form of concentric circles. It is this inter-relatedness of the various competencies, that when brought together holistically, will enable HR professionals to create value and deliver positive impact to the business. In addition to these three areas, Advanced Competencies have been identified for HR professionals at the highest level of certification.
