What you are expected to know to pass the exam requires a broad range of HR knowledge and competency. The reality is many are best practices that only large companies can implement, such as Fortune 100 companies who have the expertise and resources. With a decade at two Fortune 100 companies, I bring my real world, hands-on experience actually implementing these best practices, not only the book knowledge.
100% of my students who implemented my study strategy paired with my Step-by-Step Study Success Calendar PASSED!
Ashley authentically cares about her students doing well. She is knowledgeable and highly responsive. It is clear that she is passionate about HR and guiding others to do well in this field.
The HR Certification Prep Course with Ashley was incredible. Ashley's interactive teaching style and guest speakers helped to keep me engaged in the material. She also assigned us each to an accountability pod and this was a great way to get to know other students and hold each other accountable. She genuinely cares about the success of each of her students and it shows. She went above and beyond for me during the final two weeks before I took the test. She believed in me and gave me the motivation I needed to get through the tough days of studying. I am forever grateful to Ashley and her course. I don’t think I would have passed the SPHR exam without her. I absolutely, without reservation, recommend this course!

"I truly appreciate Ashley. Her inclusive and interactive style of teaching is unique and certainly impactful. Though I am from accounting and management background, I felt comfortable and encouraged to interact in her class. She emphasizes difficult to understand concepts that are made easy to understand. I highly recommend taking her PHR / SPHR class."
