Check out these resources for PHR prep:
- David Siler’s accelerated course
- Victoria Puser’s Bootcamp
- SPHR/PHR pocket prep app

Victoria’s one was really good!

Best of luck!

The SPHR/PHR pocket prep app was super helpful when I was studying for my PHR. I found that the questions on the app was harder than the ones on the actual exam. GOOD LUCK!! :)

This is the book I used. My only recommendation is to take as many practice exams as you possibly can! If it’s pure memorization, I used a flash card app and quizzed myself via the app to occupy my time instead of going on social media

Is the SPHR or PHR license necessary to pivot into human capital? I have a MBA from a Top 15 school. Any thoughts?

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - lauren

I’m job hunting in Los Angeles, looking at a variety of titles (HRBP, Sr. HRBP, Manager, Sr. Manager, Director). I have 8 YOE and my SHRM-SCP.
