The Struggle and Why YOU Should Take This Course
Early in your career, you can waste months trying to learn skills to break into an HR Generalist role. Despite all of these efforts, you’ll remain lost because:
- You lack a formal background in human resources.
- You realize the courses and boot camps offered in the industry are either too jargon-filled or lacked sufficient depth.
- You don’t have insider tips or the right resources on how to stand out as a candidate in HR generalist interviews.
To become a better HR Generalist professional, we went down the rabbit hole to understand what it takes to build successful organizational culture from the inside out. We interviewed thought leaders within the industry. We learned the behaviors and habits of successful HR professionals and drew from our experience as HR Generalists. Empowered with this knowledge, we’ve helped many receive job interviews at top-tier companies and startups.
We created the HR Generalist Certification Course so that no one else had to go through the painful experience that we did to become more experienced and land our first HR Generalist role.
The HR Generalist Certification Course was created for aspiring HR Generalists or people who want to improve their human resources skills. In this course, we teach the fundamentals of human resources, how to create a great organizational culture, answer HR interview questions, and stand out in the recruiting process to land a human resources job.

Over 50+ lectures, 5+ downloadable HR templates, and exclusive interviews (more added over time) with human resources professionals in the industry.
