Description:
Want your national HR certification? Prepare for either or both the HRCI (PHR/SPHR) or the SHRM (CP/SCP) national exams.
Since 2005, the Human Resources National Exam Prep Program (formerly Professional in Human Resources (PHR) Study Program) from Extended Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno and Karyn Jensen with The Human Resources Connection Ltd. have provided detailed instruction in the skills necessary to take the HRCI's PHR or SPHR examination with an average pass rate of 71%. Now the program has expanded to include the skills necessary to take the SHRM CP or SCP national exam.
This intensive 11-session program provides a comprehensive review for HR professionals, by enhancing skills and knowledge, and preparing participants with test-taking techniques and materials for either the HRCI or the SHRM national exams. Passing one or more of these exams indicates your mastery of the human resources field and is highly regarded when hiring HR professionals.
Professional advancement
Certification indicates a level of professional achievement in one’s field. The HRCI's PHR and SPHR, or SHRM's CP or SCP designations are earned only by those who have demonstrated mastery of the human resources body of knowledge and have met the challenge to stay informed of new developments in a rapidly changing field.
Requirements
To receive a certificate of completion for the University’s Human Resources National Exam Prep Program, participants must attend nine of the 11 sessions.
