Testimonials
The course and group conversations were so helpful in preparing me. I am so appreciative of everything! Winter, 2023
I wanted to thank you again for helping me enroll in this class. Cathy was an amazing instructor and is extremely knowledgeable. I appreciated how she was able to tie concepts from the material to real life situations. I valued the instruction she provided, not just for passing the test, but for helping me expand my knowledge of the HR functions. I learned so much that will help me be a better HR professional. She is also extremely conscientious. She was always prepared and on time, used our classroom time effectively and even gave us extra time for review sessions over the weekend. I can’t emphasize enough how valuable her course was to me.
Oh, and I passed the SHRM -SCP yesterday afternoon, largely due to her help! Fall, 2022
Thanks so much Judy Ratcliffe ! The CCSU prep course led by Cathy Bruzon, SHRM-SCP was the key. While it did FULLY prepare me for this exam, I also appreciated how well it expanded my knowledge of HR. I truly valued the experience —it was time well spent. Fall, 2022
Cathy was nothing but amazing, to be honest, I also love the structure she had we got right into the competencies section. I was able to follow along just fine with the previous book I used last year. Cathy had very good analogies to go along with capturing the content as well as engaging the class by having those of us who had the book read out the competency connections. In addition to this she is extremely knowledgeable and has such a good flow and stopped to provide us context for the sample questions to ensure that we can start to analyze the SHRM way. Taisha, Fall, 2022
Thank you!! I really enjoyed the class and I am so happy I took it. I don’t think I would have passed on my first try without it!!
