LSHRM's Spring 2013 Certification Study Group

Have you looked at the employment ads lately? The PHR and SPHR designations are very often preferred by advertising employers in the Louisville market because certification is the symbol of professional achievement in the field of HR. Beyond experience and education, the PHR and SPHR designations signify that you have mastered the HR body of knowledge. The Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI) maintains the nationally recognized standards set by individuals working in the profession.
 

Description

LSHRM is pleased to offer its Spring 2013 PHR/SPHR Certification Preparation Study Group! This is a discussion-based format where we use practice questions as a "jumping-off" point to talk about the issues. We make it a point to discuss not only what the right answer is, but also why it is the right answer and why the other answers are not correct. Our facilitators are industry experts with real-world, practical examples to add to the discussion.


Location

Sessions are held at Webster University
1031 Zorn Avenue, Suite 200, Louisville, KY 40207
LSHRM would like to thank Webster University for offering its facilities!
 

Schedule

The Spring 2013 PHR/SPHR Study Group will begin on Tuesday, February 26th and will run for 10 weeks after. (Week of March 12th will not meet due to Webster University being closed) Each session is scheduled from 5:45 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
