If you’ve been planning to earn your Professional Human Resources (PHR®) or Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR®) designation, 2010 is the year to enroll in Villanova’s updated and expanded HR Certification Institute exam preparation course based on the SHRM Learning System®. Rules regarding HR certification will change dramatically in 2011, so it is highly recommended for HR professionals not currently certified to attend classes in 2010 before the new changes are implemented.
In May 2010 the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) recognized Villanova University as the #1 college/university program in the country offering the SHRM Learning System® Course in both classroom and on-line, and our Spring 2009 pass rate exceeded the national average for the sixth consecutive year.
Classes begin on the week of Monday, September 13 at locations all around the Delaware Valley, including three classes at Villanova (including a Wednesday night SPHR class, and an alternate Saturday class), two classes in Center City Philadelphia, and classes in Langhorne, Dresher, Exton, Malvern, Pottstown, Mechanicsburg, and Newark DE. The fall 2010 GPHR class will be offered in the Southern Delaware County/Northern Delaware region at the Hampton Inn at Route #1 and Route #202 starting on September 20. We are also offering three Essentials of Human Resources programs this fall beginning with a two day at the Villanova Conference Center on September 11 and 18.
The Certificate in Professional Human Resource Management program is offered in full partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and the curriculum covers the 2010 HR Certification Institute Body of Knowledge. Designed by subject-matter experts, the program includes application exercises that develop specific competencies and decision-making skills. Besides being a powerful tool for PHR or SPHR certification preparation, this strategic course fosters professional advancement and builds confidence for managing HR challenges. 36 recertification credits are available for those in need to recertify their PHR/SPHR designation. (30 for GPHR)
Customized on-site classes are available. Class information for all of our programs, including the Villanova University Fall 2010 SHRM Learning System certification courses are available at www.continuingstudies.villanova.edu.

HR professionals benefit by understanding when and in what industries, business up ticks are likely to occur. This in depth economic information provides professional forecasts which help HR professionals make strategic level staffing decisions, such as when to hire in anticipation of increased business, which talent is likely to be most quickly re-employed and when it is best to delay staffing up.
