What a recent student had to say about the course:
"I just wanted to say thank you for your PHR/SPHR prep course. I passed the PHR, which was a huge relief! Your questions and material covered in class were the perfect combination of learning for this type of exam. I found that after re-reading all the material, listening to the lectures, and doing the HRCP flashcards that the exam was not near as difficult or detailed as the questions in class."
