Best-Selling HR Certification Programs & HR Certificate Programs
Benefit From An HR Certification Or An HR Certificate Program!
HRTrainingCenter and HRcertication, our sister website, have provide HR certification courses and HR certificate programs since the mid-1990s. We offer online, in-person, and virtual HR certification courses as described below.
About Our HR Certification ProgramsOur HR certification courses cover FMLA, ADA, COBRA, Payroll, Retirement, Cafeteria Plan, and other federally-mandated compliance requirements. These courses are used primarily by HR managers and human resources professionals who must handle the administration for these laws. In other words, the people sending out the appropriate forms and notices, collecting premiums or taking deductions, and communicating with current and ex-employees.
Each of our HR Certificate Programs includes not only the training on how to effectively comply with the mandated requirements, but updates whenever the laws change, as well as the ability to earn a "Certified Administrator" designation by taking the topic-specific exam.
About Our HR Certificate ProgramsOur HR certificate programs are used primarily by HR Managers, Business Owners, and other professionals who need to understand the basics, theories, and best practices behind a specific topic such as FMLA administration, but do not necessarily need to know the exact details behind the topic, nor want or need a certification on that topic.
The one exception here is our Internal Investigation Certificate Program, which provides detailed help for handling situations such as bullying, retaliation, fraud, abuse, or other topics that could easily turn into a lawsuit or damaging publicity. We offer this as a certificate program rather that a certification program because internal or a workplace investigation is really about hearing and analyzing information, speaking with witnesses, etc. - in other words, a "process" rather that something like how or when should you provide an FMLA or COBRA notice that is a testable question.
What Is An HR Certification Program? How Do HR Certification Programs Differ From HR Certificate Programs?Simply stated, an HR Certification Program provides training, then testing against what you have learned, whereby an HR Certificate Program provides the training, but does not test you against the learned content.

Which HR Certification Programs Are Best For Beginners?The answer to which HR Certification courses are best for beginners depends upon a number of factors. For instance, if you are new to HR, our HR Generalist Certificate Program is probably best for you as it provides a broad overview for anyone new to HR.
Similarly, if you work for a small organization, you most likely have to handle all or a vast majority of Human Resources compliance requirements, namely everthing from benefits to payroll to retirement plans to cafeteria plans and more.
Conversely, if you work - or plan to work - for a larger organization, you are most likely to "specialize" in one of more of the above-mentioned topic areas, so should take training on that specific topic. For instance, if you are assigned to handle COBRA administration, you should take our COBRA Training & Certification Program; if assigned to handle payroll, take our Payroll course, etc. etc...
What Are The Benefits Of A Human Resources Certification Program?
HR certification programs offer HR professionals a chance to acquire essential skills that can help enhance and advance your knowledge and your career. Benefits include:
- Increased knowledge, skills, and competency
- Give you additional credibility and validity
- Differentiates you from co-workers or competition
- Increases the value you provide to your organization
- Increases your job mobility
- Makes you more likely to receive pay raises!
Are Online HR Certificate Programs Effective?One could easily argue that online HR Certificate Programs are an extremely effective learning format because you not only receive immediate feedback, but an online HR Certificate Program means you are being tested against what you learned.
Take our FMLA Training & Certification Program for example: following standard Instructional Design format, the course is broken into multiple "Lessons" of 20 or so minutes each that cover a specific topic or function. The first page of each Lesson includes Lesson Goals (in other words, the key learning points for that lesson), is then followed by training (in English, not legalese!) that includes numerous tips, examples, and procedural recommendations, then concludes with "End Of Lesson Quiz" questions that not only test the key learning objectives for that lesson, but provide answer rationale to help ensure learning.
