HR Certification California

Not knowing California HR is a danger to your employer and to your career.  Costly mistakes have been made by HR practitioners who thought they knew HR because they had a federal certification only to discover things are very different in California.  If you have employees in California you need this program.

The PHRca ®  Exam Preparation program includes weekly meetings with an instructor to talk about the PHRca Exam Functional Areas.

01 | Compensation/Wage and Hour 

02 | Employment Lifecycle and Employee Relations

03 | Leaves of Absence and Benefits 

04 | Health, Safety, and Workers’ Compensation

05 | Compliance and Risk Management

The 7 week program comes with:

• Study guide
• Practice exams
• Pre-recorded lectures
• Online flash cards
• hrcertification.tmtclass.com
• PHRca 2.0 Reboot Program  (retake the course for FREE!)

Up to 21 WEEKS Class time at no additional charge!  

Sometimes students get into class and realize there is more information than they imagined.  Other times work gets overwhelming or family matters take precedence.  For that reason we have our  PHRca® 2.0 Reboot Program.  This means that you may retake the PHRca® exam preparation class at no additional charge (21 classes or 32.5 in class hours)!
