Are you thinking about taking the PHR or SPHR certification exam? Prepare by enrolling in
Howard Community College's Professional Human Resources management course at the Charles
I. Ecker Business Training Center, conveniently located near I-95 between Washington D.C.
and Baltimore. Offered in partnership with SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management,
the course provides you with access to the tools you'll need to successfully complete
the certification exam. My name is Marilyn Brown and I work as a s-senior
human resources consultant. I took the course a year ago, um, in order to prepare for the
senior human resources management certification. It is a great overall review of what you do
in HR. And it gives you the most recent data, the most recent laws and I took the the exam
in December and I passed it the first time. I'm Christen Ragheb, uh I moved from Egypt
uh in August two thousand and twelve. I took the course of the human resources management
at Howard Community College. Now I'm SPHR certified. Being able to be SPHR after less
than a year from coming here was quite a big step and the course definitely helped me.
By taking the course, you will have access to the latest SHRM Learning System, which
covers the entire HR Certification Institute Body of Knowledge through online study tools,
practice tests, and more. You'll be able access these materials from your phone or tablet
so that you can review them anytime, anywhere. In addition, you'll be learning from experienced
instructors who work in the field. The instructors were key because you were
able to interact with them, Todd gives great examples. He has union and non-union experience
that he brings, so it helps cement the information and Debbie makes it fun to attend the class.
You'll also have the opportunity to network and build relationships with your peers.
You get to know people and make friends, and they are from the same field. So they know
your problems, sometimes when you have uh an issue that you need a second opinion or
you need to consult someone that knows the business and knows the profession... you got
that. The individuals taking the class were encouraging,
we had study groups that we could attend and a lot of those friendships have remained after
taking the exam. HCC's course will prepare you to successfully
complete certification and achieve the professional growth you're looking for.
It really has given me a boost in my career because it gives me the credentials that are
needed with our clients. When they see that you have an SPHR after your name they know
that you have the base knowledge to be able to be consulting with them and, and know if
you don't know the answer you know where to go to get it.
