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


Fred Ingle, SHRM-SCP
I took the study prep class from Elga (hrtrainingclasses.com) and passed both the SPHR and the SHRM-SCP exams on the first try. These exams are not easy. Elga’s students have a 96% pass rate which is well above the pass rate for first-time test takers (SPHR is 60% and the SHRM-SCP is 50%). This is hard evidence that her classes are well worth the time and money spent if you are serious about getting HR certifications. Thanks, Elga for putting your knowledge, time, and heart into your students.

I am so happy and excited that I passed the SHRM-CP on my first try! All credit to Elga (and her team) for the thorough content in the HR Training bootcamp prep class! Elga’s ability to craft stories and explain HR concepts in a situational context allowed me to better understand complex HR terms and retain the mass amount of information expected to obtain the certification. I really appreciated Elga’s visuals in her presentation guide and have already recommended her course to my HR colleagues! Thank you Elga and team for your dedication to supporting HR practitioners in further developing their careers!

I just passed my SHRM-CP after 2 weeks of obtaining the PHR. Elga’s expertise and experience can really help you to understand and comprehend the materials instead of just memorization when it comes to obtaining the certification from HRCI and SHRM. If you are looking to get certified/recertified, @hrtrainingclass is the place to go. Thank you, Elga!

Elga is not just a teacher , throughout your learning process she becomes your friend and someone who want to make sure you get a full understanding what she is teaching. She puts a special personal touch into her training which makes this more then a classroom virtual training program and more like enhanced learning sessions , introducing techniques such as word associations, special acronyms and stories… she has many stories to help you learn and remember key and important aspects of the training. But you do not only get Elga and all the training tools, you get a group of classmates and “alumni” who are their to help and learn with you. It is very encouraging. I highly recommend HRTRAININGCLASSES to anyone wanting or needing not only to get their certifications but to enhance their HR knowledge. Thank you Elga.

I just passed the SHRM-SCP. I do not think I would have been able to pass this certification if it were not for Elga and the team at HRTraining Classes! Elga has a unique way of taking the HR body of content and presenting it in a way to help retain the information. I would highly recommend her course to anyone who wants to obtain their HR certifications. Thanks again Elga and team for helping me achieve this huge professional milestone!!

Elga is super knowledgeable. She is the combination of beauty and brains. Her experience and credentials talk out loud about her knowledge in the field of HR. Her dedication to her clients is amazing and commendable. She makes her training programs very interesting by making them interactive. Elga is the best trainer anyone would ask for and I strongly recommend taking Elga’s training courses. She is my inspiration.

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 students’ success (I think she was more excited than me when I passed!). Her personality keeps the class engaging 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.
