Top FAQs
Benefits of an HR Generalist certification from HRTrainingCenter.com include:
Boosts Credibility / Signals Competence
Showing you've gone through structured training helps employers trust that you know not just HR theory but current practice, laws, and regulations. Especially useful if your HR experience is limited.
Bridges Knowledge Gaps
If you're moving from another function (or from being more junior in HR), the certification helps you get up to speed on everything in the generalist role - laws, best practices, tools. Gaining those "across-the-board" skills is valuable.
Helps With Job Qualifications / Getting Interviews
Some job descriptions list knowledge of HR laws, handling investigations, payroll, etc. Showing a certificate that covers those can help your resume pass screening. It may also help in promotions or lateral moves within your org if HR wants you to take on more responsibility.
Provides Continuing Education and Keeps You Updated
Laws and best HR practices change. A program that gives updated content, sample forms, current compliance obligations (FMLA, ADA, etc.), especially with free updates, helps you stay current and reduce risk of legal issues for your company.
Networking & Learning from Peers
Live or virtual seminars often provide a chance to interact with instructors and other HR professionals; this can help you see how others tackle similar problems, which gives you ideas for your own work.
Expands Career Path Options
Generalist roles are often stepping stones to more specialized or leadership roles (HR Manager, HR Business Partner, Employee Relations Specialist, Compensation & Benefits, etc.). Solid grounding in all areas helps you decide what specialty (if any) you might want and helps prepare you for more senior roles.
