Reviews
"The SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP Certification Exam Prep Course was extremely helpful in preparation for the exam. The instructor did a great job in teaching you how to “unpack” the questions to really understand what SHRM is looking for, resulting in correct answers. The exam is difficult, and I don’t think I could have passed it without taking the prep course." - Kelly Schmitz, SHRM-SCP - Dordeck Building Solutions, attended Spring 2024
"When I initially signed up for the SHRM prep course, I wasn't sure what to expect. I heard the test was difficult and that a lot of studying was required. This turned out to be absolutely correct, and the best way to study is through UW-Parkside's SHRM prep course. The professor, Sheronda Glass was more than well versed in the HR field and her style of teaching really helped me understand the material I was studying and eased my anxiety about retaining it, despite having 4 books of information to go through. Professor Glass always encouraged questions and discussion and was very motivational to me and all the other students in class that were nervous about learning all the information over the course of 3 months. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to become certified in SHRM whether it's CP or SCP." - Alex Clark, SHRM-CP attended Spring 2024
"This SHRM prep course was extremely helpful. Dr. Glass was very knowledgeable and related the topics to her real-world experiences. This class definitely helped me digest the material I was reading. Dr. Glass also broke down the practice problems in a way I could understand to help me find the best answer and solution. I would highly recommend taking this class if you plan on pursuing the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP Certification." - Bethany Rennock, SHRM-CP - Northwestern Mutual, attended Spring 2023 session
"Dr. Glass was a pleasure to learn from and really listened to the needs of the students. All practice exam answers were explained, we went backwards or forwards when necessary, and still managed to laugh a lot! Highly recommended." - Katie Dorece, SHRM-CP - Guaranteed Rate, attended Spring 2021
"Three excellent things came from this course: (1) Excellent material, the course provided accurate material to help study for the exam. (2) Excellent educator, Dr. Glass did an amazing job helping us understand how to read and interpret the questions. (3) Excellent people, the people that I met throughout the course provide an amazing network to assist with studying and future connections." -Michael Tinholt, SHRM-CP - Uline, attended Spring 2021 session

"The 'Becoming a Better Leader' course is fantastic. I took the course as part of a leadership certificate program. However, as an educator, the course will challenge me to take on a more positive, effective leadership role in school. It has improved my skill set and given me ideas that I can apply in an educational setting, as well as in my personal life."
