85% of Our Students Pass Their HR Certification Exam

Our Next

HR Certification Masterclass

is June 4th at 7:00PM EST

Your certification is more than a credential.

Whether you're preparing to sit for your SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR, Cultivate Human Resources gives you the structured guidance, practical application, and expert support to succeed.

Our approach is built around the R.E.A.D. Framework™ — a proprietary method that helps you not just memorize content, but think through exam questions the way seasoned HR professionals do.

THE ATTORNEY ADVANTAGE

Most certification prep instructors teach the SHRM BASK or the HRCI BoCK from a textbook. Latisha teaches it from her practical HR experience after 20 years in the industry.

She's a Juris Doctor from North Carolina Central University School of Law, with an M.S. in Human Resources Development from Villanova. She holds her SHRM-SCP and PHR. She serves as Chief People & Legal Officer for a major nonprofit and as Certification Director for Raleigh Metro SHRM.

When the exam asks you to apply employment law, disparate impact analysis, FLSA classification, or ADA accommodation reasoning, you're not getting a memorized definition. You're getting the actual legal framework an attorney uses every day.

That's why our students pass..

"I took your SHRM-CP class in fall of 2024. Due to family issues, I had to postpone my exam date to this spring. Two weeks later, I took the PHR as well. Passed both! I definitely credit your videos and study resources for my success. THANK YOU!
