Why get HR Certified?

Getting an HR certification can help you enhance your career as an HR professional.

How would your life be different?

What do you see at that finish line?

From a 2018 HR Certification study by Payscale, "the percent boost in pay associated with having an HR certification is 31.6 percent". It also showed that median pay increased by 50% from a PHR to SPHR certification and 54% increased from SHRM-CP to SHRM-SCP certification. By getting an HR certification, you are proving your expert knowledge in the HR field.

A promotion or salary increase

Maybe you’re trying to break into a career in HR. So you see a new job in a new area that you’ll love!

A new job at a different company

The ability to demonstrate expertise and knowledge. Having those letters behind your name is PROOF of your expertise!

Feeling confident in your role and what you’re doing

Being able to back up what your instincts already tell you!

Everyone has their own reasons!

"I found Ashley and the team to be highly responsive, very professional, and most importantly eager to ensure we received the knowledge we need to pass the HR Certification Exam. The course reviews key points and additionally the trainer includes her personal HR & legal experiences throughout to help us gain perspective and applicability. The course is engaging and interactive which helped me retain the large volume of material. I would highly recommend this course for any of your HR prep needs."

Ann Le, Recruitment Consultant/Career Coach/Job Developer

"I am so glad I took Ashley’s prep-course. It is well formatted, organized, and engaging. It included not only the live, interactive course but also access to tips, tools, and recordings of the classes so you can revisit/review as needed. I highly recommend this course!"

Kate Tyler, SPHR, People Professional

“I enjoyed the class interactive learning through the games and team questions. I also really appreciate Ashley’s willingness to continue to assist us with any questions we may have. This is very unlikely from a teacher/professor so this is something very unique about Ashley. In addition, I really appreciated how great her team facilitated the interactive games and questions.”

Espie Free, Director of Human Resources

“I really enjoyed this HR Certification Prep course. Our instructor Ashley was always organized, prepared and brought passion to the course. She was knowledgeable and provided many ways for us to engage her and each other. I believe she truly cares about our success. She has a great team who ensured our online needs were met and we had a great platform to reference. I would certainly recommend this course to others considering HR certification.”

Ronicia Haughton, Compensation Analyst

“This course was a great way to help prepare myself for my exam. It helps you to discipline yourself with making time to study, building strategies on how to study and prepare for the HR exam.”

Priscilla Vega, Talented Bilingual | Innovative HR Coordinator | Executive Assistant | Project Management

Try our HR Challenge Question

Alice is the HR Director at TechCo, a software start up. Her executive team has been pressuring her to create a plan to address retention. They’ve been hearing so much news about the Great Resignation, and they noticed that several key employees left the company. What is the first step Alice should do to address the executive team’s concerns?

A. Alice should immediately create a retention strategy to satisfy their concerns.

B. Alice should complete a turnover analysis, including reviewing the reasons, and calculate the turnover rate to understand what, if any, issues they have and why employees are leaving.

B. Alice should implement an employee survey to understand employees attitudes and opinions about the company.

C. Alice should conduct stay interviews with each employee.

See the Answer Here

B is the correct answer!

Before Alice takes action, she needs to understand and assess what is truly happening, using the data. She shouldn’t simply react to satisfy the executive team without understanding what is occurring. Employee surveys will help Alice understand employee engagement levels. Stay interviews help employers understand why an employee is still there at the company. Although they are both great tools, they are not the first step.

What Makes Us Different?

I am one of the very few instructors that have both the HR expertise and the deep understanding of the legal/compliance requirements as an attorney

What you are expected to know to pass the exam requires a broad range of HR knowledge and competency. The reality is that they are best practices that most companies aren't able to implement, except large companies such as Fortune 100 companies who have the expertise and HR team to implement them. With a decade at two Fortune 100 companies, I bring my real world, hands-on experience of not only book knowledge, but actual experience implementing these best practices. Most instructors don't actually have these real world experiences to integrate their specific examples with the teaching

We limit the class size because I want each student to personally interact with me

We reinforce learning and make it fun by constantly improving and gamifying the learning experience

We incorporate live and asynchronous (on-demand) components, which includes interactive discussion and Q&A, along with reinforcing learning exercises and gamification. All live classes are recorded so that you can replay them if you aren't available or review the recording for additional learning. They are all accessible through our LMS platform along with our additional resources sections to support you. We also consult with an experienced instructional designer to continuously upscale our course. Our LMS is in addition to HRCP's materials and online portal which includes their books, multiple practice exams and flashcards which you purchase separately through HRCP’s website.
