What are the courses that HR managers should take to be professional?

CIPD , but I would recommend Psychology 

problems solving and decisions makingTraining skillsThe course of personal analysis by body language, handwriting and signatureNegotiationCommunication skills with othersTraining in understanding and interpreting work systems

Master of Business Admin HR Major

CIPD - though it expensive or 

SHRM Certification 

Apart from the above, the experience counts...:)

Certifications like SHRM can help and globally recognized. 

Thanks

In my opinion, they are :

• Leadership skills.
• Team work, or team building workshops.
• Session in organizational culture.
• MBA.

I'd recommend the following courses:

1. SHRM-SCP - the preparation itself is very enriching. the certification is a value-add. 

2. CODA & CODD - Various vendors offering this course in Dubai for Middle East region. These are certifications in Organisation Development (Certified OD Assessor & Certified OD Developer)

3. If you're a HR Manager in an organization that uses various psychometric tools for assessment & development, then a basic orientation course on Psychometrics would be recommended. 

4. Personal Development - will depend on the individual development needs. A lot of people have commented about that here. I'd +1 all of them! :)
