Elga is a phenomenal educator! Her PHR 6-week course is the only resource I used to pass the PHR exam on the first try; I felt incredibly well prepared. Aside from having an awesome class, Elga is so great to work with. Her attitude has made this entire experience pleasurable. Thanks Elga & HR Training Classes Team! I am looking forward to learning more with you.

Elga and her entire team were so great to work with. I was always the student that had to work really hard to earn my grades and I always dreaded tests. Signing up for Elga’s class was the best decision I made, from her teaching instruction to the materials you are provided with, little did I know, I was over-prepared for this exam and the answer came easily. There are a lot of options for exam prep, but HR Training Classes is the best decision! If you want to pass, learn with Elga!!

If you are looking for the most effective and in-depth training to study for an HR certification, or simply to learn more about your field in a wonderfully supportive environment with excellent resources, look no further and book one of Elga’s Boot Camps right now! After attending the 6 week Boot Camp, I passed the PHR on my first try. And I could not have achieved it without Elga and her team! Elga is incredibly knowledgeable regarding each of the HR certifications and equally passionate about the success of each student. Her method of instruction provides multiple resources to ensure the in-depth comprehension and application required to pass these exams, and her infectious joy and supportive nature make it a pleasure to attend her sessions. The high success rate, follow-up support and resources also make this a great value for your dollar and I know I will return for more. Thank you Elga!

I came to Elga completely stressed out and in panic as my PHR exam was only 3 weeks away. The self-study wasn’t cutting it and I felt as though I was not retaining the information I was reading. Elga took the time to allow me to enroll in her 5-day PHR boot camp at the last minute. This was by far the BEST investment I’d made! I literally purchased books, apps, and audio from different places, but Elga was able to put it all together for me. She made it make sense! She was available for all of my random questions as well as offered study sessions and one on one exam prep. Even when I didn’t feel confident she said to me “You have enough knowledge to pass this exam”. She doesn’t know it, but this is now an affirmation I pass to my children”¦I assure them that they have paid attention in class and they now have enough knowledge to pass their exams. I am forever grateful to Elga. She really CARES about the success of her students. The reviews aren’t lying, she cares and will make sure to get you to the finish line whether is PHR, SPHR, CP whatever! Thank you Elga for the push I needed! Your recordings are pure GOLD!

This year I put on my vision board that I wanted to earn my HR Certification. I set my sights on the PHR. I happened to enroll in the HR Training Class 6 week Boot Camp and my life changed. I took the 6-week course and to my surprise it was fun and I learned so much that I was able to immediately make changes at my company. At the end of the course, I took the PHR and passed on the 1st try. Upon Elga’s recommendation, I took the SHRP-CP two weeks later and passed!!! I waited a few more weeks, participated in Elga’s study groups and today took the SPHR and passed. Elga, her team and the community she has built are miracle workers. Everyone in the field of HR should take her classes. She is committed to your success and the results will change your career! Elga made my HR dreams come true!!

I was researching prep classes to help me prep for my PHR exam. I came across a YouTube video of Elga’s Complimentary SHRM and HRCI Exam Prep Study Group Q&A Session. Her high energy personality pulled me in. I knew this would not be the typical boring prep class. I needed a class that would keep me engaged after putting in a long days work! I immediately enrolled in Elga’s 6 week evening online class. Not only was this a wonderful learning opportunity, this course has given me knowledge that I could bring back to my workplace and use immediately. Elga goes above and beyond to make sure that her participants understand the information. What a great instructor. My thanks for your guidance and support. Kia Robinson, PHR

Elga is an amazing instructor; full of knowledge and experience. She truly cares about helping people understand this important material and does a great job explaining the complex concepts and subtle differences between similar topics and vocabulary. I cannot say enough good things about her and her classes! Thanks Elga – you are the best!

ELGA IS THE REAL DEAL!! I found her complimentary sessions on YouTube 2 days before I was scheduled to take the SHRM exam. I called expecting a machine and she personally called me right back within minutes. Her passion and commitment to her students was obvious!! I explained to her that while I had been studying, my struggle was making the laws and theories applicable to real life situations. Elga crafted a package of videos for me to watch and sent them immediately. WOW she was the answer to my prayers!! I submerged myself in the recorded sessions. The following day she scheduled a 1 on 1 with me. She quizzed me and answered all my questions. The rest is history…Here I am today…a SHRM HR CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL! What a Godsend and worthy investment. If you want to pass call Elga!!

Elga, thank you so much for ALL your support! Hands down, you are the best!! Your brand is unique and for that I am grateful! Once more, I could not have passed this exam without you! As I was taking the exam (SHRM-CP), all I was hearing was your voice cheering me on, saying, “Ruby, you’ve got this!!” It pulled me through! I encourage anyone reading this and planning on taking the exam to obtain an HR certification to consider going with Elga! Thank you for EVERYTHING you do to help us get certified.

I would recommend taking Elga’s Hr Training classes to anyone that wishes to be certified. Elga’s classes cover a wide knowledge of theoretical concepts and practical based within the HR field and federal laws. I have learned and grown exponentially and am grateful that I decided to take her class. The tips and strategies offered proved beneficial and were key in me passing the SHRM-CP.

Elga is a fantastic teacher! Not only is she an expert on all things HR, her energy motivates you to learn & succeed. Her classes combined with the learning materials she provides make passing a test that has only 50% pass rate achievable. Take these courses, learn from the best!

I signed up with HRTrainingClasses.com® for their 5-Day class in LA last year. Elga was my instructor and effortlessly broke down HRs body of knowledge. She invented clever ways to help you remember the material. I took the SPHR immediately after the class and passed it. Recently, I signed up to take the SHRM-SCP exam. I reviewed her materials and online one-one-one discussions. Well, that was enough. I passed the exam yesterday. Thanks again Elga!

Elga is an inspiration to students, she activates hunger for knowledge, inspires her students to become true HR Professionals. Elga spends hours preparing her students for the HR Certifications. Elga’s innovative teaching style and bright charisma is something very unique and commendable. The Certification course, weekly study groups and 1:1 sessions are just enough for anyone to clear the exams. If you want to earn a PASS on your first try, don’t even think – just enroll right now.

I strongly recommend this program. The curriculum discussed in her course allowed me to get a greater grasp on the subject matter required for the SHRM CP exam. Even after our course finished I was able to continue reviewing session recordings and materials. I have no doubt that my passing was in direct relation to this course.

Dionna Stanford-Trice, MBA, SPHR, SHRM-CP

I finally passed the SPHR–on my second attempt. The first attempt revealed that I hadn’t delved as deeply into the course material as was needed. Empathetic Elga will give you a shoulder to cry on for a few short minutes. Then, she turns into Sergeant Elga–telling you to get back in the saddle, and get this show on the road! She will always be Cheerler Elga, going above and beyond to do whatever it takes to help you succeed. To me, she is Angel Elga because she will pray for you, and give blessings before the exam (only if you want them–which I do)! I highly recommend Elga Lejarza-Penn, and the HRTrainingClasses team!

Christy Scotch, PHR, SPHR

I first “happened” on Elga’s classes as a way to get my certifications “out of the way.” I wasn’t looking forward to the time it would take to study and learn, but I was going to suck it up and do it. The first session with Elga changed my attitude completely. She is so engaging, passionate, and caring! She loves the material, and she loves teaching. She takes a personal interest in all of her students. She goes above and beyond in her desire to help everyone accomplish all of their goals and even dream bigger than they had. I LOVE learning with Elga. I look forward to class, and I enjoy her attitude. Thanks to Elga and her whole training system, I not only passed my PHR, but I passed my SPHR” within 2 weeks of each other. I didn’t know to register for my SHRM exams, so I have to wait until December to take those. But you can bet I will be getting Elga’s help preparing for them. She is a rare soul, and I have grown to love and admire her so much!

I passed my SHRM-CP exclusively using Elga’s Bootcamp series. It was an extremely worthwhile investment! What drew me to Elga’s Bootcamp was her tireless investment in her participant’s understanding of all the wide-ranging HR topics. The focus is not on memorization but rather on developing a full comprehension of the broad range of topics. This comprehension comes in very handy with all the tricky questions you find on the SHRM-CP exam! It can feel overwhelming how many topics the exams cover but Elga’s course is designed in a way where the topics are digestible and well organized! I can’t recommend Elga’s classes enough!

Chisholm Tate, SHRM-CP

Elga is very knowledgeable and I am grateful for meeting her. She pushes her clients to study and listen and use their experience knowledge to achieve success and greatness. I have learned a lot from her direction and will continue to pursue other HR certifications. Thank you Elga for being inspiring and pushing me to think positive and do the best I can do.

Elga’s HR training classes helped me pass the SHRM-SCP today!! The recorded classes and 1-on-1 sessions made it possible for me to listen while working out or in the car or basically whenever I could fit in a minute between a full-time job and 3 kids under 7! Thank you Elga!

I had the pleasure of taking Elga’s 6 Week Exam Prep Boot Camp and passed my SHRM-CP on my first attempt.

Elga has been a great teacher, mentor and guide throughout my training process. Her unique training structure is designed to set her students up for success. She cares about all her students and works with them independently in her 1-1 sessions to ensure they understand the concepts very well. I had tears of joy when i passed my PHR Exam which is completely a result of her training. I would highly recommend Elga to anyone wanting to not just to ace their HR Certification, but get a well rounded understanding of HR Practices.
