Hetal Patel, aPHR, PHR
Again hrtrainingclasses.com has successfully prepared me to receive another certification, my PHR. I will continue to study under Elga until I receive the other certifications, I’m that determined. Thank you Elga for your dedication, I really appreciate all that you do for me to pass these difficult exams.

Hannah Robinson, SHRM-CP
I have been celebrating all weekend because Elga and her team have made it possible for me to take and pass the SHRM-CP exam! I cannot give enough kudos to Elga and her wonderful team as they truly go above and beyond making sure to give you the resources and knowledge to become a Human Resource expert. Elga strives to get to know each and everyone of her students academically and personally. She identifies quickly your strengths and your weak points, and assists you EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. Her compassion, vitality, experience and knowledge is second to none, which in turn makes you immediately comfortable learning from her and the material. Elga cuts out the fluff and focuses on the meat of the material, so you can also focus on what is important. THIS PROGRAM IS WORTH EVERY PENNY and more! I cannot thank Elga and her team enough. This SHRM journey has been a wonderful experience, and I cannot wait to join Elga again when I am ready to take the next step in my Human Resources career.

Many agree that results speak for themselves. That being said, without any previous studying or preparation (other than work), I took HR Training Classes’ SHRM-CP/PHR Bootcamp for a week and immediately passed both the SHRM-CP and PHR the very next week. Elga breaks the content areas down in ways that stick with you conceptually and make them easy to understand and apply. She has a genuine, personal interest in each of her student’s success (I think she was more excited than me when I passed!). Her personality keeps the class engaged and she is so grounded. In class I felt like I was working with a coach and not listening to a lecturer. She is a natural mentor and when engaging with her it feels like we’ve known each other for years. Beyond the intensive programming, your initial class fee also grants you access to a wide variety of live-recorded study sessions and e-materials that supplement the class learnings toward your goals. I would highly recommend the HR Training Classes team and curriculum.

I am so pleased I connected with Elga and her team. I passed my SPHR exam after taking her training class. I appreciated her support and encouragement, and highly recommend signing up with her. In addition to the live trainings she provides an extensive library of resources for follow up self study and a couple of personal training sessions. There is a lot of material to cover but Elga is lively and energetic in addition to being knowledgeable, making the class enjoyable! I also enjoyed making connections with other HR professionals in her training class.

I took the Employment Law Certificate Program and really enjoyed it. There are so many laws, but Elga took the time to explain them well, and made sure that we understood them. She asked if we had any questions and also gave interesting activities. I would recommend the class to anyone new to HR or for anyone that wants to review employment laws. 🙂

Words cannot express how grateful I am for the continued support from Elga and her team throughout my SPHR certification journey…YAY I PASSED and Elga was with me every step of the way. The blended learning format included: 5 day bootcamp, online lectures, study groups and personalized one on one sessions leading up to the exam. Wait! All that plus Elga’s true passion for each participant’s success, make HRTrainingClasses a first-class learning experience. With the loss of my father last summer, I had a set back which put my exam prep on hold. Elga welcomed me back in later that Fall when I returned dedicated to completing my SPHR journey😊 Upon my return, her insight, compassion and genuine desire to work with each participant shined through. What can I say, she is a gem!! If you are preparing for your HRCI or SHRM certification, please reach out the Elga and the HRTrainingClasses team.
Thank you so very much!

I met Elga just one week prior to sitting for the SHRM-CP, and passed on my first try!!! She was like a skilled marksman when it came to assessing my weaknesses. With precision, she filled in the “gaps,” provided clarity and calibrated my focus with pinpoint accuracy. Elga is patient, and caring. Most of all, she is knowledgeable, competent, and won’t let you give up on yourself. Just when I thought I had failed miserably, I could hear Elga’s voice saying, “You’re halfway there. You got this. You can do it!” She was right! Thanks Elga!
