I would like to study for my PHR certification and don't know where to start. I see 1,000's of websites that advertise study courses for certification. Is there a professional body for Human Resource People? If so, can you tell me who it is? Thanks.

The PHR is certified by the Society of Human Resources Management. (www.shrm.org) They have certification prep programs on their website. I would also think any program thought the adult education division of your local university would also be legit. What is your background? Do you deal with a lot of employment law - wage & hour / leave management / minimal OSHA, etc? If you deal with this, day and day out, it may not be cost effective for you to pay for a prep session. I earned my SPHR in 1995. At the time, I only studied off of the free study guide that is given when you sign up for the certification test (I'm guessing this is still given out). I have never dealt with the day to day labor law type stuff, although that's what the entire test was based on. And I passed the first time I took the test. I have never re-taken the test, instead I get recertification hours. Note: I do know that many people have a hard time passing the test and need to re-take it multiple times before passing. Good luck!
