Looking to take on increased responsibilities at work in the human resources department? The Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification from the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI) might be an option; PHR test prep with the help of 51Թ is a great option to provide a bit of personalized support.
Tutors that we match students with have a strong understanding of the information you'll be tested on in the certification exam, and they'll help you to work through a variety of topics in PHR prep sessions. The test is comprised of 150 questions, mostly multiple choice, which are scored, and an additional 25 pre-test questions that are not scored. The exam is computer-based, and you'll have three hours to complete all of the questions. From change management to communicating with employees and helping them to chart a career path, there are a wide variety of subjects that you may encounter in the human resources field. The computer-based exam is given at Pearson VUE centers across the country, throughout the year, according to HRCI.
The table below lays out some of the topics you might see questions on, and that you might want to spend some time studying and reviewing before you schedule your PHR certification exam.
PHR Topics (Non-Comprehensive)
- Legislative and regulatory knowledge and procedures
- Employee communications
- Ethical standards
- Change management theory
- Career Pathing
- Applicable federal laws and regulations
- Organizational development methods
- Coaching techniques
- Pay structures
- Organizational policies
Your PHR preparation sessions with PHR tutors can include a variety of study techniques and study aids. A tutor will get to know you and can put together a PHR course that embraces the way you learn. Whether you're an auditory learner or a visual learner, your PHR classes will include ways to study and review that will work best for you. For example, if quizzes, and practice tests, or even lecture-style study works best for you, your PHR test prep can include those methods, instead of others that aren't as effective for you.
Working with a private tutor for PHR test prep means that you don't have to put your concerns behind someone else's. If you need more time on legislative knowledge and procedures but feel fairly confident with your knowledge of coaching techniques and organizational methods, your PHR class sessions can be adjusted to spend more time on the subjects you may be struggling with.
You don't have to let PHR tutoring keep you from having a life outside of your professional life either; PHR test prep with a personal tutor can be done through 51Թ' Live Learning Platform. This makes it easy to connect for scheduled PHR courses, no matter where you might be. Your PHR test preparation is location-independent, and that offers quite a bit of flexibility if your schedule becomes more difficult to manage. As we work to match you with a tutor, we will listen to your concerns and strive to match you with a tutor who specializes in PHR preparation, who can also address your specific needs and concerns. We want you to feel comfortable as you work toward your professional goals.
Reach out to 51Թ today to find out more about PHR test prep programs and how tutors can help you as you prepare for the PHR certification exam.
