HRCI Certification Exams: Your Video Coach to Preparing and Passing the Exams

HRCI Certification Exams: Your Video Coach to Preparing and Passing the Exams provides HR professionals studying for the HRCI exams a resource for calming their fears about the exams and for setting up their own study plan.

Description

One of the most important and exciting additions to Pearson’s new product line for PHR/SPHR test prep is the new video series. This particular video is particularly important and unique because it reaches beyond subject matter expertise. We compiled the questions most frequently asked by others, like you, who were also studying for the HRCI exams, so that we could provide a coach’s approach to addressing each question. You will have the opportunity, through this video series, to work with Kelley Doyle Snyder, a business professional, entrepreneur, and life coach who holds the designation of Professional Certified Coach by the International Coach Federation.

In this video, you can interact with Kelley as you would with any certified life coach. Just select the questions that resonate most deeply with you and listen to Kelley’s responses. But don’t expect "easy answers"—because there is no such thing in coaching, or even in life. Rather, Kelley will challenge and encourage you to "do the work" necessary to empower yourself as you prepare to take the PHR and SPHR exams. And, because Kelley has recorded her responses, you can access Kelley’s insightful suggestions, observations, and strategies as often as you would like.
