HR Managers earn median pay of over $113,000/year. Is your pay below the median?  Many employers prefer to hire certified candidates, and some positions require certification-- especially the higher-paid HR positions.

But the PHR certification exams are not easy.  In fact, pass rates are typically in the 50-55% range, so you really have to know your stuff to earn your designation. But it's worth it, to advance your career in HR.

Our workshop will get you ready to pass your exam on the first try - or we'll re-train you at no additional cost!
