Earning the PHR certification administered by HRCI had been a goal I had put off for longer than I care to admit, and PrepHow finally gave me the structure to pursue it seriously. I found the Labour Relations content particularly well covered, though the Workforce Development sections felt slightly less detailed than I would have preferred. Passing on my first attempt was genuinely one of the more satisfying professional moments I have had, and PrepHow was a meaningful part of that.
