Veronica Reveron, SPHR
When I took my first workshop with Elga in 2017 I knew that I was in the best hands to prepare for my PHR Exam. I passed it on the first try. Now in 2020, I went back to her and took another online workshop to prepare for the SPHR and again, I passed on the first try. I would recommend Elga without hesitation to anyone looking for the best classes for the HRCI/SHRM Certifications. Elga and her team always help us by sharing their knowledge, their experiences, and tips so that all of us who participate in their seminars come out well prepared for the exams.

The team at HRTrainingClasses is amazing. Elga and the team are dedicated, caring, and highly motivational people. Thank you for the dedication of teaching online, going above and beyond, and helping others succeed. Elga is transformational and I am beyond grateful for being in her classes. I highly recommend her classes and sessions to others that are uncertain of where and how to study. Because of her I have now obtained two HR certs and am looking forward to continuing and obtaining more. Thank you again!

Robin Butler, SPHR
Thank You Elga and the HRTrainingClasses team for helping me achieve a personal milestone — passing the SPHR! Yay! Elga is very knowledgeable and passionate about the material and embedded in the success of her participants as is evident in how she presents the material during classes and during the 1:1 so that we understand and are able to apply the concepts. She challenges us to step out of our comfort zones and participate during sessions which creates a sense of community! When I felt overwhelmed by so much material – I can still hear Elga say, “no, no, Robin!” If you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL experience as you embark on this journey…..I recommend Elga! Elga, thank you again, I could not have done it without you!

Thank you Elga for being the best Human Resource instructor.

She is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. She was with me every step of the way and I truly appreciate her.

Last summer, I knew I’d be changing jobs in the new year and wanted to pass all three exams (SPHR, GPHR, SHRM-SCP) since I had been putting it off due to all the traveling I was doing. I enrolled in HRTrainingClasses in August 2019 and committed to attending Elga’s classes on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings… I’d join from India, France, the Netherlands or wherever I was traveling because I loved Elga’s way of combining the Chapter terms along with real-life examples that I could identify with as a Senior HR leader. Elga’s classes aren’t “hard”, but you have to do your part by reading the material, attending/participating in all her classes and taking advantage of all the training materials available on her website. I passed both the SPHR and SHRM-CP exams in December 2019. Then I studied for the GPHR exam using 1) all the knowledge I had gained for the SPHR exam and then utilized HRCI study guides for GPHR-related terms. I passed the exam on February 14, 2020. Even though I was able to use my years of global HR experience for the GPHR exam, having taken Elga’s classes and passing the SPHR exam first aided me in passing the GPHR exam. By far, this is the best training I have received related to Human Resources in my 30-year HR career.

Darren Banks, SPHR
I was at my wit’s end when I first joined the “HR TRAINING CLASS” team. At first encounter, I was nervous and hesitant with this new style of learning. Little did I know, Elga and this class were going to assist me in achieving my SPHR Certification. Thankfully, with Elga’s technique, experience, and patience this course was the instrumental cusp which helped me grow confidence and knowledge to become successful and exceed all my expectations. Additionally, Elga’s course encompassed all types of learning; including discussions, webinars, training materials, and one-on-ones. She just didn’t make room on her schedule for me, she created room in her heart for me too. Thanks again for all your help, compassion, and encouragement. We did it!

When you think of an instructor you immediately think of someone who is knowledgeable, motivated and passionate about their area of expertise. Those traits exemplify Elga but there is she is so much more to her. Her clear goal is the success of her students. She carves time out of her personal schedule outside of expected class to create opportunities for everyone to review material and share knowledge. She makes it a point to know each of her participants on a personal basis. She cares. My personal experience shows just how valuable Elga was to my success. I completed the course and the week prior to my exam I was feeling confident but nervous so we scheduled a 1-on-1 call to review. After noticing I was tripping up on some concepts, Elga scheduled an two additional sessions to clear up any confusion I had. These touch points were not planned in her busy schedule but she carved out the time to ensure my success. I genuinely feel that Elga was the secret sauce to my success and am thrilled I had her not only an instructor but as a coach. When you join her classes you get more than what you pay for!
