PHRca is right for you!

And Here’s Why:

You’re a California HR Compliance Pro!

You’re a California HR Compliance Pro!

You have put in the hard work to meet the required combination of education and experience that are the pre-reqs for the PHRca exam.

You embody ambition, dedication, and upward momentum. It’s time you realize your full potential! It’s all within your reach!

You’re motivated and ready to start taking the steps needed to move your career forward.

PHRca is exactly what you need to skyrocket your HR career.

According to HRCI, “To be eligible for the PHRca you must meet one of the following conditions for education and/or experience: Have at least one year of experience in a professional-level HR position and a Master’s degree or higher, Have at least two years of experience in a professional-level HR position and a Bachelor’s degree, OR Have at least four years of experience in a professional-level HR position.” Based on your responses to the Quiz, you meet these requirements.

You realize that California is one of the most difficult states for HR professionals. You practically have to be a lawyer to practice HR in California. You’re ready to learn and to expand your California HR knowledge. You’ll build on the HR foundational knowledge you already have to learn the intricacies of HR California compliance!

You know that without the California HR expertise, and deep HR knowledge, education, and experience, you can’t progress further in your career.

That means – the next step for you is getting the PHRca! This is just what you need!

3 Reasons Getting the SHRM-SCP Is Your Next Best Step

  • Job Opportunities.

    According to softwareadvice.com, “42% of companies noted that an HR certification was either preferred or required.”

  • More Money. $$!

    According to PayScale, “with the exception of the aPHR, all certification types led to a boost in pay for those who have it.”

  • Promotions! Career Development!

    Who is this Ashley anyways?

    My Origin Story:

    It was the late 90’s and I was loving life as a tech recruiter! And then, the Dot com bubble burst! With all of my requisitions frozen, I knew that I needed to make a change to ensure my career stability! I didn't have a safety net. We didn’t have much growing up, and there was no family home to run to. So I took 2 steps that changed my life FOREVER!

    1. I reached out to our new HR Manager. We were just acquired by Intel! I told her that I wanted to move into HR, and asked for her support. While she couldn’t promise me a role in HR, she provided me all of the help and support she could. She created an HR Development Plan with me, allowed me to sit in on the HR meetings that were possible, gave me HR projects that helped me to develop my HR skills AND

    2. I enrolled in an HR certification prep course, took the exam, passed, and became HR certified!

    If we haven’t met, I’m Ashley Huynh. My early experience in HR shaped my HR career development. I believe HR certification is the pathway to HR career success. And I realize, I couldn’t have done it alone. If Suzanne, the HR Manager at Intel, hadn’t provided me that mentorship and support, I wouldn’t be where I am today! And that is why I am so passionate about supporting other HR professionals.
