Testimonials for Elga Lejarza, aPHR, PHR, SPHR, GPHR, SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP


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!

I would highly recommend going through HR Training Classes and Elga to prepare for your HR Certification! Elga goes above and beyond to make sure you are ready for your exam. She meets with her students one on one and runs weekly study groups to help supplement and review the course materials. In addition to teaching you the necessary topics and skills she also helps give you the confidence boost needed to pass your exam. I wouldn’t have passed my SHRM-CP exam without Elga!

I began Elga’s class about ten weeks ago and thanks to her I passed my SPHR on my first attempt! After taking her Bootcamp classes, I understand Human Resources in a way even my graduate degree didn’t teach me and I feel like a much more effective HR Professional. I have never had an instructor who was so supportive and wanted me to pass as much as I did for myself! She is an amazing instructor and a really kind person. If you are on the edge about whether to go for it or not, you will not be disappointed by signing up for classes with her. Investing in her classes was one of the best things I could have done for my career. Thank you so much, Elga!

Amy Stevens, MBA, SHRM-CP
Elga’s guidance and encouragement during the last couple of months has been invaluable and profoundly inspiring. I have discovered a passion for learning and exploring, for asking questions that weren’t even on my radar few months ago.

Elga’s explanation on topics/concepts made it very easy to comprehend the content she taught in class. She exemplifies what it means to be a hardworking person by conducting innumerable 1:1’s with all her students, tireless preparation and commitment to her work. Elga aspires all her students to work for a single goal and i.e. PASS the certification in the first attempt.

I owe my success to Elga, my certification would not have been this easy without her guidance and counseling. Thank you so much Elga!
