PHR/SPHR

PHR (Professional in Human Resources) or SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources) certification has become increasingly more important for continued career advancement. It demonstrates a human resources professional's commitment to education and growth. Many employers are now making it a "preferred" qualification for employment, and are encouraging their HR employees to become certified.

Certification is not easy -- it requires knowledge of all areas of human resources management. Our instructors are all SPHR certified and HR generalists with many years of management level human resource experience. They offer the ideal setting in which to review both theory and real world applications of human resource skills. Our course materials cover all topics on the certification exam including management practices, selection and placement, compensation, benefits, training and development, employee and labor relations, health, safety, and security.
