A topical outline of the body of knowledge of human resource management, from which the certification examinations are drawn, is featured, including management staffing, family and social issues that affect the workplace, employee rights, and international competition. Tips for exam preparation, a practice exam, a bibliography, and reference lists are also included.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a study guide at all, November 26, 2003
By A Customer
This book contains a 125-question practice exam, with answers and rationale behind the answers for each question. Most other information in the book can be obtained from the HRCI website, without buying a book. It is worth buying for the practice exam (taking the HRCI practice exam online costs $45), but not as anything other than a practice test.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money!, February 19, 2003
By Sarah Wescott-Aebersold (Redmond, WA United States) - See all my reviews
All this is the instructions and qualifications for how to get PHR or SPHR certified. I did not find it helpful at all for the price! It does give a practice quiz (yes, just one) which I suppose is helpful but I would just go ahead and order prep materials and use those. If you are nervous about standardized tests then I guess it's somewhat helpful because it goes in to how to take them and alotting your time...but if you are well-seasoned in them or any testing (as I am) then I would say don't bother.

4.0 out of 5 stars High-level orientation to the PHR/SPHR exam, October 2, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Certification Guide (Paperback)
This book provides a helpful overview to orient a candidate to understanding the look/feel of the PHR/SPHR exam. However, this book will not prepare a candidate for the exam. It provides more sample questions then the free certification handbook and can be a good place to start if you are unfamilar with the exam. However,individuals looking to minimize $$$ spent and interested in certification should consider investing in a good HR text book (try Mathias & Jackson HR text and student resource guide) and/or consider an SHRM study course.

I recieved my books very quickly - I appreciate your service because this book does lie out the basics of the exam.
