Dr. Teddie E. Malangwasira
I recently took a 2-Day Diversity and Inclusion course facilitated by Elga. Not only does she know the content, she also is one of the best facilitators of learning particularly online. Her sessions were full of energy and discussed the relevant D&I issues we face today. I highly recommend her sessions to anyone interested in diversity and inclusion—both in the workplace and in society where we live.

I recently participated in a 2-Day Diversity and Inclusion Certificate Program and it was very information. The training included the following topics just to name a few; Unconscious bias training, Preventing Discrimination and Harassment Training, people with Disabilities and many others. Elga is a wonderful instructor and has an extensive amount of knowledge in all areas of human resources. I’ve had the pleasure of being a participant in several seminars and trainings that Elga has instructed and I must say that she makes learning fun, interesting and informative at the same time. She offers a variety of classes and I promise you will not be disappointed!

Elga, thank you for the time and effort you put into the Diversity and Inclusion training that I attended this week! I am glad that I signed up with you! Not only was it insightful, but the fact that you went above and beyond to give insight of employment law and what constitutes discrimination, helped to lay the foundation for understanding the importance of embracing diversity, promoting equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Great job, thank you!

Elga is the best teacher/instructor ever!! I took her 5-day PHR,SHRM-CP, SPHR, SHRM-SCP course in January and I passed my PHR today!!! The only study materials I used were hers and I am confident that attending her 5-day course is what solidified my knowledge. She has a great way of explaining HR concepts and really breaking them down so you can understand. I have the minimum amount of experience for the PHR exam and she made me feel confident enough to take it.. and pass!! If you’re looking for a training course to prepare you for these exams, look no further- Elga is your gal!!

Elga is the best trainer for HR certifications ! Her course material is very structured and geared towards these exams. Her personal commitment towards each of her students is extraordinary. The Saturday study groups and her one on one sessions helped me pass my SHRM – CP, SHRM – SCP and SPHR exams on the first attempt ! Elga explains each concept very well, I love her skill to break down each concept into smaller parts and make it sound simple and easy to understand for her students.
