If you need extra support to study for your PHR certification exam, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a supplementary, online San Francisco-Bay Area PHR certification class taught by an expert instructor. The Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification is offered by the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) as a measure of your professional aptitude in both operational and technical aspects of human resources. The certification exam—which consists of 175 questions administered over three hours—is a required prerequisite to earning the credential, testing your knowledge of talent planning and acquisition, business management, learning and development, rewards, and employee and labor relations. While this may seem like a lot of information to learn, earning a PHR certification can help you negotiate a raise, earn a promotion, or advance to a new position in your career.
Enrolling in San Francisco-Bay Area PHR certification training can increase your confidence as you prepare for the certification exam. All courses are taught by qualified and knowledgeable instructors that are excited to help students like you reach for their professional goals. You can learn study strategies as you prepare for the content of the PHR certification exam. Using the tools on the Live Learning Platform, you can benefit from the convenience of online instruction alongside the amenities of a traditional classroom environment. Learn from an academic mentor who wants to help you be successful, and grow your professional network by collaborating with peers.
Accessing your online training is convenient thanks to the Live Learning Platform. The Live Learning Platform hosts all online training courses, and you can log in from any location with an internet connection. Work from your home office, a local coffee shop, or even your own bedroom—wherever you can work with the least amount of distractions. Any spot can be your classroom when you enroll in a San Francisco-Bay Area PHR certification course. Without having to factor in a commute, time for parking, or other scheduling factors related to an in-person meeting, online courses are easier to fit into your busy schedule. You can increase your productivity and make the most of your study time by completing an online training course.
The features of the Live Learning Platform are designed to make learning convenient, engaging, and simple. This user-friendly platform is easy to navigate from any desktop or laptop computer. Once you log in, you can access all your training materials, including activities, lessons, or assignments provided by your instructor. Each lesson that your instructor teaches can prepare you for a different portion of the PHR certification exam; your instructor can cover a range of topics including how to develop training plans, federal regulations that impact the onboarding process, and the minimization of risk, among others.
In the event that you require extra assistance in the class, you also have the option to schedule a meeting with your instructor to have a more detailed discussion. Schedule a time that works in advance for both of you, then video chat with your instructor on the Live Learning Platform. You can ask questions, check-in with your progress, and receive feedback from a knowledgeable academic mentor. In San Francisco-Bay Area PHR certification training, your instructor is a leader and mentor who wants to facilitate your success.
While the video chat feature may be used to conduct one-on-one meetings, it will more than likely be utilized by your instructor to deliver lectures and lessons to the class as a group. When your instructor teaches in this format, you can see, hear, and react to them in real-time—the same as in an in-person meeting in a traditional classroom. Ask questions by typing into the chat feature, and your instructor can provide answers on the spot. Despite the fact that you are working from different locations, you can still engage with your instructor and form a connection that helps you feel invested in learning the material.
To aid their instruction over video chat, your instructor can also use the virtual whiteboard feature to guide you as you take notes. Just the same as you would use a physical whiteboard or chalkboard, this feature allows your instructor to write and visualize items from a lesson. They may write key terms such as "employee lifecycle" or "applicant tracking system," for example, or visualize the various facets of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Use this feature to take organized notes that you can study later, increasing your retention of exam concepts further. While online classes come with added convenience and accessibility, the Live Learning Platform also provides the amenities of a traditional classroom.
In addition to the tools and materials on the Live Learning Platform, your San Francisco-Bay Area PHR certification course will be led by a qualified and experienced instructor. All instructors pass through a strict vetting process before they begin teaching courses, and during this process, their knowledge, aptitude, and approachability are all assessed to be sure they meet high standards. Not only are instructors qualified to teach you, but they are excited about helping students achieve their professional potential.
Instructors are experienced with human resources, business practices, and the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification exam, so they are prepared to answer any questions that may arise as you complete your training. Along with reviewing the content of the certification exam, your instructor may choose to review test-taking strategies. If it has been a while since you took your final exams at San Francisco-Bay Area State University, the University of San Francisco-Bay Area, or another area school, you can increase your confidence by practicing with an academic mentor. Practice answer-elimination techniques to prepare for multiple-choice questions or review time management strategies to make the most of the three-hour testing window. Whether you need assistance with preparing for the material or the format of the exam, your instructor can support you.
An online course can also help you grow your professional network. When you enroll in San Francisco-Bay Area PHR certification training, you join a group of other human resources associates pursuing the same certification as you. Though you may come from different industries, educational backgrounds, or geographic areas, you can form connections when you collaborate on the Live Learning Platform. Share your experiences, answer questions about course material, or complete a group project together as you prepare to take the PHR certification exam. Online training allows you to form connections that can last long after the course is complete.
To find the San Francisco-Bay Area PHR certification class that is right for you, contact Varsity Tutors to learn about all the available options. Depending on your availability, you can choose to enroll in a class that meets at night, on the weekend, or on a weekday.
