PHR-SPHR Certification Prep Class

This fully online, instructor-led certification prep course is designed to prepare you to earn your PHR or SPHR certification credential.

Our PHR/SPHR exam prep course provides professional instruction covering each of the functional areas included on both the PHR and SPHR exams. Consistent with PHR and SPHR exam parameters, this course emphasizes U.S. employment law. It covers a wide range of HR best practices and requirements in the context of the U.S. legal and regulatory environment, including:

• Business Management
• Talent Planning and Acquisition
• Learning and Development
• Total Rewards
• Employee and Labor Relations
• Leadership & Strategy
• Employee Relations and Engagement

• What are the class-specific activities?
  Classroom time includes live instruction from your expert instructor where you review content from the HRCP Learning System, as well as work through sample exam questions, test-taking tips, and strategies specific to the exam. Best of all, participants are able to ask questions throughout class.
• Please tell me about the homework assignments
  Homework assignments focus on key learning issues for both your job and the exam. Essentially, your “home” work consists of reading, working though, and studying the course materials, as well as completing periodic homework assignments that the instructor will review and return to you - with individualized feedback.
• Is the Instructor available outside of class hours?
  Yes! You are welcome to email your Instructor with questions related to the course or exam preparation throughout the class.
• How do I access the ‘classroom’ portion?
  Once you register, your Instructor will email you login information, the class syllabus, and other class materials.
• Are the training sessions recorded so I can re-listen to key points?
  Yes, each session is recorded. Recorded versions are available for 6 months following the conclusion of class.
• Must I attend every training session?
  Though you should attend each of the 12 sessions, attendance at all is not required (remember, you can listen to the recorded versions).
• Are course materials included in my class fee or do I have to purchase it separately?
  Current HRCP materials specific to the PHR/SPHR exams are included in your tuition fee, and will be shipped to you upon receipt of your paid order.
• Do I have to have current HRCP materials to attend the class?
  Yes, all participants must have these materials. They are included with your class tuition fee.
• How long are my materials valid?
  The printed portion of the HRCP Learning System is yours to keep. You will have access to the online portion for 24 months
• Is the cost of the HRCI exam included in my class fee?
  The cost of the exam itself is not included in the class; you are responsible for registering for the exam yourself. Tips for doing so will be discussed in class. Also, please make sure to review the eligibility requirements for the exam at https://www.hrci.org/how-to-get-certified/apply-for-certification/exam-fees

Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.

The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!

And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.

Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.
