HR UPFRONT has assembled the critical core components of a successful online HR certification preparation course: a competent instructor who is a veteran practitioner in the field, excellent materials and resources, and proven learning experiences. These components provide the best preparation for the SPHR/PHR certification exam.

The instructor has extensive experience creating and teaching successful human resource certification preparation courses and developed a human resource certification preparation course at an institution of higher learning. His programs produced a 92% pass rate on the PHR and 80% pass rate on the SPHR over a five year period compared to a national pass rate of 66% on the PHR and 58% on the SPHR over the same five year time period. In 2011 HRCI reported the average national pass rate for the PHR at 57% and 52% for the SPHR. There has clearly been a downward trend in the pass rates for the PHR and SPHR over the last six years. While there is no one best method to prepare for the certification exam, HR UPFRONT has created its own unique and updated preparation design online which it feels will best prepare human resource professionals for the SPHR/PHR certification exam.

HR UPFRONT, LLC pass rates: PHR 99% and SPHR 86% since inception.

HR UPFRONT is the online conduit between human resource knowledge and certification. The preparation course is designed with flexibility for the busy human resource professional and is only available online. Make a difference in your professional human resource career today and let HR UPFRONT help you prepare for the certification exam.

Crash Course Alternative- I have found some students like to use the course as a crash course rather than the designed 15 week long course. You have access to all the same information as the 15 week course; however you pick and choose what resources you want to use, how you want to use them, and the pace you would like to move through the materials. This is an alternative to a semester long schedule and supplements your current HRCI exam preparation materials and methods. If interested, the current deadlines do not apply, please contact me at chris@hrupfront.com to discuss further.

HR UPFRONT, LLC also offers Human Resource consulting services. Please see the link on the right-hand side of the page for more information.
