Student Reviews
“I could not have passed my exam without Rutgers virtual SHRM Certification Prep Course. It is the main reason I passed my exam on the first and only attempt. I truly felt prepared as I sat to take the exam. My instructor was great at answering our questions, bringing in real world experiences and applications. She incorporated practice test questions at the end of many of our sessions, providing clarity on questions from the class surrounding the answers. She set expectations for each class and shared test taking strategies, in addition to communicating important areas of each chapter to focus on. The material itself with regards to the soft cover books, online portal that also included e-books, a pre- and post-test, quizzes after each unit, and vocabulary cards allowed me to customize how I studied/approached the material. I am thankful to Rutgers for providing me with the opportunity to attend their program.”
“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.”
