I'd purchased two training programs and completed their full practice exams and all training modules. I'd taken and (not passed) the exam twice using both of these sets of material. Both times I left the exam feeling ill prepared for the types of questions asked on the exam, though I felt confident after completing their practice exams. After signing up for the HR Upfront self-paced study course and taking the pre-test questions, I knew I'd found the right solution. I passed the SPHR and I'm confident it was because of my investment in this program. Thanks Chris for all you do!

Testimonials

I recently used the HR Upfront, LLC on-line educational program to prepare for the SPHR exam.  The class materials and resources were comprehensive and user-friendly.  The instructor was readily available and guidance provided by him was clear and concise.  The review of case law and history of HR legal developments proved invaluable to me on the exam.  I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking a flexible study course for exam preparation. Interest from employers in my resume has markedly increased since I passed the exam!

I’m another HR Upfront, LLC. success story!  The structured course moved at a manageable pace that aided my retention of the material.  The curriculum covered all things HR as well as provided valuable test taking tips (which really do make a difference).  The instructor’s enthusiasm, direction, and knowledge contributed to my positive experience.  I was impressed by his availability and quick and thorough feedback.  He truly showed me that he was committed to my success.  I have and will continue to recommend HR Upfront to my HR colleagues, thanks!

What I liked best about your curriculum is that it was very time-structured and covered all the material in a way that facilitated understanding of the concepts.  The project was a phenomenal way to build understanding of all the major employment acts and Supreme Court cases in applying those to real situations.  That is absolutely a must!  You have such a wealth of resources on the website as far as practice tests and additional exercises that I believe made the learning difference for me.  Building endurance through the regular chapter tests was also critical to give me a realistic expectation of how long my concentration would last at any given time, and to remind me to build in periodic mental breaks for the real test.  Your published success rate and structure was what made me choose your course.  My experience with your class will make me recommend your course to anyone and everyone I meet who wants to pass either the PHR or SPHR exam.  Congratulations to you for creating a curriculum that works!
