"SHRM does their best to set you up for success! There are so many resources and the instructor was excellent! The instructor gave us so many great tips for succeeding on the exam and had an interactive style of teaching that kept us engaged and thinking throughout the class.
Throughout the class the instructor reflected on our pretest scores to help us identify where she needed to focus her time [during the seminar]. The pretest also helped me identify where I need to spend time studying independently.
I feel infinitely more confident in the probability of succeeding on the SHRM-SCP exam and sincerely enjoyed my 3 days of learning with the teacher!"
