Student Reviews

“The course content was very relevant to the questions and whole format of the exam. [Instructor] Carolyn [Broderick] was fantastic, honestly. She brought in a lot of real-world examples and past work experiences to clarify the topics. I think that her involvement was very helpful not only for me but for others and gave us more confidence in the materials and in taking the test. Thanks to this class, I passed the exam and am proud to now have SHRM Certified Professional (CP) on my resume.”

“The Rutgers online SHRM Certification Prep Course was a big part of my success. It really prepared me for the exam. Offering the class online was the only way I was going to be able to juggle my schedule with work and family.”

“Rutgers virtual SHRM Certification Prep Course was the best class I have ever taken. I feel much more prepared to take the SHRM-SCP exam. The professor, Eve [Brownstein], was the most supportive professor I have ever had. She provided real-world everyday examples of HR practice that the entire class could relate to. I will carry the lessons learned in this course throughout my entire HR career.”
