While this was a long course - it took me at least 2-3X longer than my HRBP Cert course - it was well worth it. The exposure to Organization Design and the accompanying materials were very beneficial.

This program was great! It was very intuative, easy to follow and very detailed. I really liked the fact I could work at my own pace, and that they had lots of case studies and extra reading materials.
