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


I highly recommend Elga’s HR Training Classes in preparation to successfully pass the coveted PHR or SPHR exam! I took the 5-day boot camp and the one-on-one interaction with Elga was exactly what I needed for my learning style. She has a wealth of knowledge in the HR industry, and she shares her real-life experience to help make the material related to all HR professionals. It was evident in the class that Elga has a passion for HR and truly cares for her students by being their champion during the exam preparation process, providing transparent feedback and encouraging us all along the way. Elga’s confidence in me gave me the confidence I needed in myself to pass the exam. Thank you, Elga!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE HR TRAINING CLASSES TO ANYONE!! — About a year ago, I tried studying for the aPHR exam using an online prep course, but barely made it past the first chapter.. I was so overwhelmed by the amount of information.. The other online prep course did not work for me so I decided to look for a better way to prepare. Thank goodness I found Elga’s aPHR Boot Camp! Elga’s class consists of helpful lectures, powerpoints, study guides, study groups, articles, 1:1 sessions.. she provides everything you need and more! I love how interactive the class is and everyone seems so excited to learn. Elga is just A-MA-ZING! After I took Elga’s aPHR Boot Camp, I studied for a few more weeks, listened to her advice, listened to all of her recordings, and passed the exam with flying colors! I don’t know how I could have done it without Elga’s guidance, knowledge, and support! I also appreciate how much time and dedication Elga puts into ensuring her students have the knowledge and confidence needed to pass the exams. Thank you Elga for everything!! And I look forward to working with you when I decide to go for my PHR!!

I have been studying under Elga since December 2018. I’ve had sooo much on my plate. My mom has been in & out of the hospital and I have horrible test anxiety. Elga has been there with me every step of the way. My 1st attempt, I did not pass, my 2nd attempt, the computer shut down and today it finally happened. Elga encouraged me not to give up and I’m so happy I did not. She is the best instructor and has become a dear friend. Thank you for being so patient with me. This is the best investment I’ve ever made. Now I’m on to the next certification. #initforthelonghaul #Imnotdone!

I want to thank Elga for her dedication, professionalism, and perseverance. She is an A+ instructor. I highly recommend her classes, because you will have everything you need to pass your exam. She will lead you on your way to become a successful professional in HR.

I got so much more than I was expecting with Elga’s aPHR prep course! Know that in addition to quality materials and a truly in-depth dive into the subject, you are getting an advocate who will really take the time to make sure you get the preparation you need to pass – THE FIRST TIME. I really appreciated the one-on-one sessions and encouragement, and every time we “probably didn’t need to know this” for the aPHR! I definitely felt like I was getting a great foundation for my HR knowledge, and would happily recommend Elga’s class to anyone who is looking to get a leg up on the HR certification process!

I recommend her HR training classes to all HR professionals! You will also be truly amazed!

Wow…just WOW! All I have to say is trust the process.

Long post alert. I originally signed up to take the PHR exam just to get a feel for it so I would be able to self-study and take again. Well that was until I came across HRTrainingClasses and Elga. I inboxed a previous participant to make sure this was legit and if she recommends. Well after her high praises I signed up. In the first meeting Elga was like oh you have 3 weeks no problem. Well after Day 2 of the 5 Day session I had bought in to taking it serious to pass in 3 weeks.

I listened to all the 1-on-1s and did the Friday study groups along with the questions on site. I did EVERYTHING Elga said because she said if we didn’t we wouldn’t pass haha. I was nervous the night before because on my list was call Elga last before test and first after test but I didn’t have her telephone number. Well when I awoke there was an email waiting. She encourages, calms and guides you right to a passing score! It’s that simple. Do as she says! Everything you need is there, you just have to put in the study time. I am so grateful for her dedication to the process she has come up with. WE PASSED!

2 for 2! These are monster exams and Elga equips you with all the knowledge you need to pass. I can’t believe I passed the PHR in only 3 short weeks of passing the aPHR. You cannot memorize for these exams..it is critical thinking and understanding of the material. Elga has a way of explaining the topics so you can comprehend fully. Thank you, Elga! I look forward to continue to shoot for the stars with you!
