What HR professionals say about this course

Graduates of the certification prep course, in their own words.

The live instruction made complex topics clear and engaging, helping me understand how to think like a strategic HR leader rather than just memorize content. The practice exams were absolutely essential. They trained me to think critically, spot traps, and approach each question from a strategic perspective. I went into the exam confident and prepared.
Hannah Royal, SPHR, CPSPHR Generalist
I absolutely loved this web-based PHR/SPHR Certification Study Course. It was so convenient for my busy work schedule, I could attend class at work or home. I have taken the traditional 12 week course years ago and talk about boring lectures. This prep course is hands down the best.
Tammy SchmittHR Manager, CertainTeed Corp
It didn’t take long for me to realize that the benefits of your program extend far beyond simply being ready for the test. The variety of learning methods was a tremendous help in absorbing an overwhelming amount of information. The classroom lectures not only prepared me for the exam, but truly got me engaged in all aspects of Human Resources.
Laura Tomanelli, SPHRHuman Resources Generalist, Village of Pinehurst
David Siler’s exceptionally prepared lectures and materials covered every base in my exam prep and increased my confidence ten-fold. The study materials, in addition to the classes, enabled an older student to successfully complete a very intimidating exam. I would highly recommend this course as the best preparation around.
