At both schools Sandy provided contract training to professionals in human resource management and supervision and leadership. Her training was universally recognized by our clients as among the best they’ve had and training that produced both short and long term positive results. It is always a pleasure and a treasure to work with Sandy. She brings the expertise, integrity, and flexibility required to work with our corporate clients. Oh, and she also knows how to make learning fun!” “Sandy’s level of expertise in Human Resources enabled her to author several case studies and learning modules for other HR educators to use in the classroom. She also contribute to the work of others by critiquing their work to improve the overal quality of those content pieces. Sandy is pleasant to work with, very professional, resourceful and highly competent. I recommend her as someone who is knowledgeable, reliable, dependable and who produces high quality work.” “I first met Sandy when she was the instructor for my Human Resources Management Certificate Program. As a teacher, she was fabulous. Her expertise and ability to communicate impressed me so much I recommended her to my employer as a consultant. Sandy designed and presented materials specific to our needs. She thoroughly engaged a once ambivalent staff and turned them into a committed staff with a sense of purpose. Sandy was also hired as a career coach for a promising manager in the company. This young woman, through working with Sandy one-on-one, learned her true potential and took giant steps forward along a new career path.” “Sandy presented a one-day training on workplace survival & communication for my company. She was very easy to work with in preparing an effective presentation to our 100 employees, and she did a great job on the presentation itself. She kept the audience engaged during the entire training with just the right mix of group activities and presentation.” “Sandy Reed is engaging, enthusiastic, and refreshing as she simplifies and clarifies HR issues with solutions for the real world, saving money, stress and hassle. She is excellent working one on one, as well as leading group sessions and presentations.” “I recently completed the SPHR and self-studies for this certification. I used a variety of resources to be exposed to the HRCI BoK and I must say that Sandy’s work is far superior to other resources out there. I appreciate how she writes, how she explains things and most importantly the real-world application of the various concepts.” “This prep guide did a great job of summing up the 2018 changes to the SPHR body of knowledge and fully prepared me for the exam. I studied this book, took the online practice questions, and searched for other free practice questions as part of my study plan. It worked and I passed first try! If you are self-motivated, this book is the prep guide for you.” “I took and passed the PHR on the first attempt yesterday and I really felt that I enhanced my HR knowledge by using this practice test book. Like the study guide by the same author, it is very well laid out and close to the real test questions. The foundation of the HR knowledge is very dry and these tests focus your retention on the specific sections of HR practices. I used 3 different practice test books and this was by far the best. This book had the most questions and I appreciated the explanation of why the correct answer was correct and the incorrect answered were wrong. If you are taking the PHR/SPHR, I highly recommend this practice exam question book. I am very serious… This book is a must.” “Took and passed the PHR yesterday on the first attempt and I credit this study guide the most. I purchased another study guide which was not nearly as in depth as this was. The practice test questions are very close to the real thing and I really appreciated how the solution explained both the correct and incorrect answers were so.” Partnered with Wiley.
