Sugie, a recent graduate from HR Metric’s ISO 30414 Certification, said the following about the program, ‘Participating in HR Metrics’ “ISO 30414 Lead Auditor / Consultant Certification” program has been very beneficial in my consulting experience. In the lecture and discussion part, I was able to acquire practical knowledge and interpretation based on ISO 30414 standards for each measurement item. The lectures were very effective.  They dig deep into the essential parts such as the background and reasons for setting each measurement item.  In addition, the case study part is more practical, and the accurate feedback from trainers and examiners contributed to further improve the quality of practice. In the Skills test, the attitude as a consultant, such as critical thinking, was called into questions, and it was useful as a guide for consultant activities in the days ahead.
