Human Resource Certification Overview
Team Leader: Jo Ann Nelson, SPHR-CA

See pricing and technical requirements below.

Part of SAHRA's mission is to support and promote the increased professional development of our members. SAHRA does this through Chapter sponsored study groups.

SAHRA sponsored study groups are a great way to network with other SAHRA members, increase your knowledge of the profession and prepare for the exam. SAHRA study group members enjoy a high pass rate for both the PHR and the SPHR.

NOTE: The study groups will meet once a week and will help prepare participants to sit for the PHR or SPHR Exam. No single course of study guarantees success on the HRCI examinations.

Next HRCI testing window is
May 1, 2012 - June 30, 2012.

See www.hrci.org/HRCertification for more information.
