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

Hi everyone! In this field, when choosing a masters degree program is it more beneficial to get a degree in Human Resources to further my knowledge in HR (my undergraduate degree is in Economics) , an MBA, or Data Science Degree due to the fact that HR is becoming more data driven as well as get a PHR / SHRM-CP certification?

I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
