Elga and her team are amazing! I took her online prep course and was able to pass both my SHRM-CP AND my PHR back to back, all because I followed Elga’s teachings and advice. She covers so much material so that you are comfortable come test time. I am a terrible test taker but Elga’s class made me confident and anything I struggled with, Elga took the time in one-on-one sessions to ensure I understood. No need for other study material, just follow Elga!

I took the 6 week prep course from Elga with HRTrainingClasses.com and it was amazing! Elga does a fantastic job of breaking down HR concepts to make them understandable and retainable. She takes the time with each student, no matter how large the class, and ensures you feel prepared and ready for your exam. Highly recommend Elga and her team!

The HRCI and SHRM Boot Camp is one of the best HR professional training courses I have taken. Elga and team are masters of HR, learning, story telling and how to test for the exams. I followed the suggested recipe for success to feel well prepared for the exam, and had fun learning with a great network of people. Thank you!

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.

Elga prepared me to successfully pass four certification exams in the span of one year; PHR, SHRM-CP, SPHR, and SHRM-SCP. If it is your goal to earn your HR certification, the best decision you can make is to enroll in Elga’s Online Exam Prep Boot Camp. She is an HR expert and her commitment to her participants makes all the difference. I couldn’t have done it without you, Elga!

Let me begin by saying thank you Elga and thank you to my HR Training Classes Family. I could not have passed the PHR without this combination of support. If you are looking to certify yourself in Human Resources, look no further! You have arrived and you have found a gem amongst stones. Elga is an amazing and dedicated teacher, facilitator, motivator, and overall a kind and compassionate human being that is hard to find. I was referred to her by a colleague of mine and Elga has been so supportive throughout my time preparing to take the test. She provides you with all the tools that you will not be able to find anywhere else, just a little example she spends 3 days reviewing with you individually or in a group setting just to make sure your ready. Who does that? Her team at HRtrainingclasses.com are the best as well they are available for you 24 hrs of the day and that’s service that I truly appreciated and will continue to appreciate as I continue my journey and obtain further certifications. Thank you again Elga you have been my gem amongst stones and I feel lucky everyday to have you in my life shaping my career!

Today I took the SHRM-SCP and passed on my first attempt! It was all thanks to Elga and the care she has shown me for the last few months. She helped me pass my SPHR on my first try and didn’t let me stop there! She believes in the people she is working with and never lets you stop believing in yourself. I would not have been able to do this without her support and kindness. Thank you so much, Elga!!!

I needed to obtain my SHRM certification as a requirement of my job. After taking this class, I am amazed at how much I have learned and incorporated into my daily work responsibilities. I’ve noticed a difference in my confidence and abilities to take on work and contribute my new knowledge with co-workers on topics I knew nothing about prior to Elga’s training. She is dedicated and passionate about what she does and wants you to be successful. She is with you every step of the way. She makes herself available whenever needed, even if that means a pep talk five minutes before your exam. You won’t get that one on one attention anywhere else. Thank you Elga for your dedication in what you do and for helping me realize the confidence I had all along and for helping me pass the SHRM-CP on the first try.

If you are considering obtaining any HR certification, HR Training Classes is the place! Elga is a HR rock star! She is passionate about what she does and her goal is to see you succeed. These exams are difficult regardless of how many years of HR experience or education you have. She is an amazing instructor that is beyond knowledgeable about the HR content she teaches. She is patient and dedicates her time to her students whenever needed. She understands that everyone learns at a different pace and does whatever it takes to help you pass. On top of her diligent dedication, she builds your confidence and self-esteem because she believes in you and your abilities to pass these exams.

Elga is an expert in all things HR. Because of her training, knowledge, and unmatched dedication to her clients, I’ve been able to pass 3 HR certifications within just a few months, and all 3 on the first attempts. None of that would have been possible without Elga’s process, training style, and support. She’s truly passionate about her profession and cares about her clients. I will continue recommending her and her programs for years to come. Thank you, Elga!!

I have been working in HR for almost 10 months now. In October I decided I wanted to work on getting some certifications, so I took Elga’s 2 day aPHR bootcamp. Everything she went over, was covered for the exam! I just took my exam this morning and passed! I can’t wait to work for my next certification and work with Elga again! 100% recommend Elga and her HR Training Courses!

Where can I start?? Well, let me start by being grateful to the entire team at HRTrainingClasses.com for their OUTSTANDING service!!! Now, let me tell you, I could not have passed this exam without the encouragement, selfless support, kindness, and honest compassion from Elga Lejarza-Penn! Elga is one of a kind! She is available to her clients around the clock; it does not matter what time of the day it is, you call her and you do not get sent to an “automated” service! And when you have a question about any of the HR competencies that you just cannot understand, Elga takes her time to break it down for you to understand! Elga makes you feel like you can conquer the world if you just believe! She is committed to her clients to a point that we are treated like her family and have become a “village.” I could go on and on about all the amazing things that Elga does to support her clients:-) If you are looking to obtain your HR certification, or want to learn more about employment laws or “All-Things HR,” go with Elga and you will not regret it! I would recommend her a million times over! Elga, thank you so much for all you do, and for sharing your knowledge with us!!!

Elga’s exam preparation courses are phenomenal! While that would be enough for me to recommend her classes to others, it is what she offers her participants beyond the classes that truly makes all the difference in the world. The commitment, encouragement, and support that she has provided each step of the way has inspired and prepared me to pass the PHR, SHRM-CP and the SPHR exams. She is a mentor and friend. Thank you, Elga – I couldn’t have done it without you!
