Great handholding in preparation for my Sphri. Took the online class as that’s what my schedule could permit. It kicked me off in the right direction, alongside the practice test and mock exam- they gave me the motivation to go through my study materials. Also, the encouragement from the community of other HR professionals helped rid me if those last minute jitters. Recommended!
Thanks Adullam for providing exquisite and exceptional service! I really appreciate the fact that you understand your client/customer and you walked me through the process patiently. Nudging, consistent, encouraging, professional in all interactions. I did enjoy working with your team on achieving this milestone and I’ll keep the recommendations going. I didn’t get to meet anyone physically, can’t still put a face to the names, don’t know what the walls of your office look like except if I want to deduce from the virtual sessions.
Finally, registered in Nov 2019, gave me access to virtual sessions of the courses when I saw a testimonial of someone who studied with just that material and passed, registered to sit for the exam in Mar 2020, I did and passed. This is our Success. Thank you team Adullam Consulting
I opted for the online preparatory class towards my SPHRi exam. The training videos were comprehensive and easy to follow.
The practice questions and mock exams added a ton of value and made each module understandable with integrated real life scenarios and example.
Great team Adullam. Keep it up
