"This class was a massive help to me immediately. Not only did it put into perspective the importance of Human Resources in the big picture of any organization, it also taught me as much in a four week span as I learned in four years on the job. I learned new techniques to apply to every area of HR, and feel like my value as an employee has increased dramatically as a result. Mary was the best kind of instructor a student can hope for: One who is incredibly knowledgeable and shows a genuine care and interest in all her students. This was the best class I've taken in a very long time, and I encourage anyone who aspires to grow as an HR Professional to invest in the experience!"
