PHR-SPHR

Distinctive Human Resources has a reputation for being the top-quality certification prep provider with over 25 years of experience helping thousands of people pass their PHR or SPHR certification. Developed by David Siler, SPHR, GPHR, SHRM-SCP, who is a leader both in certification prep and in the HR field, our 36+ hour program targets the high-probability items on the exam so you have the best chance of passing on the first try. This program will eliminate unnecessary study time and provide a step-by-step preparation process led by world-class instructors, including the author and creator of the program. This program enjoys a 90%+ pass rate!

Rather than rely solely on book learning, we focus on the types of learning materials adults prefer: audio files, lecture, test taking skills, quizzes (over 1500 questions), flashcards, videos, and games. Plus, participants will have access to a live weekly Q&A hour-of-power (as it is fondly known) with David Siler leading this informative and powerful study session. Webinars are recorded and posted on the LMS for later viewing, in case a student misses a class.

While our singular study guide provides a good understanding of topics, it is the lecture from our distinguished instructors that nail the points home. Additionally, we are the ONLY provider to offer The Seven Princes, which detail the seven main principles of HRM that show up all over the tests. Ask around, the Seven Princes, written by David Siler, is your secret weapon that no one else can offer! Materials will begin shipping approximately two weeks prior to the start of class.
