Great class- great energy. Really enjoyed Charles Byrd as an instructor. He was full of great information and examples. "Filled in all the gaps!"

I have taken 3 previous HR classes, and this was by far the best yet. I love the small class size. Breaking out into groups to complete exercises was so fun and educational. Meeting people from other entities and walks of life made it feel less like a class and more like a team building exercise. This course covers a huge portion of HR. We touched on every subject. The instructor was amazing. He allowed for discussions and opinions. He made the course fun and informative. I hope to have him in future courses.
