What You Will Learn
This course is designed to provide HR professionals an overview of the practical knowledge and tools necessary to develop their skills. It is specifically designed to prepare participants to take the SHRM PHR and SPHR exams. While passing the test is not guaranteed, attendance at courses using the SHRM Learning System® has statistically resulted in higher passing rates.
Southern New Hampshire University integrates proven educational and training techniques to assist participants in preparing for the national exam and enhance their professional development. Over the past 4 years, SNHU has realized an average passing rate of 95% for PHR compared to the national passing rate averaging 67% and an average passing rate of 80% for SPHR compared to the national passing rate averaging 57%.
Participants have indicated that taking the course at SNHU gave them the additional confidence and preparation necessary for the national exam. All participants agree the SHRM Learning System® materials plus the additional information provided by SNHU are invaluable resources for the exam and everyday Human Resource practices. Please note: as our focus is to help participants be successful on the national exam, the class is focused on delivery of material in a training format which does not allow for extensive class discussion or exploration of ancillary issues.
