TESTIMONIALS

Dr. David W. Guess, CDS, SPHR- EVP Human Resources/ Risk Management/ Insurance/ Talent Acquisition

"Rarely would one find a formal written endorsement from me regarding testimonials. I try and only do this when I feel the person is clearly above and beyond in their professionalism and ability to influence others through their leadership. One such person, Elga Lejarza of Lejarza HR Consulting is a person of influence in the field of human resources. In May of 2017, I attended the SPHR preparatory course led by Elga. I routinely refer to this course as a “Total Emersion Course”. The course is designed with one primary goal: to successfully navigate and pass the rigorous SPHR exam. You will not have a single wasted moment with Elga, every minute of her workshops is spent with you, the client, and your success. Upon completion of this “emersion experience”, I sat for the SPHR exam in Lexington, KY. One week later. Result: PASS! It is with great pleasure and deserved distinction that personally recommend Lejarza HR Consulting. In my opinion, Elga has no competition at her level; there are just other people teaching PHR/SPHR course. Thank you, Elga. You represent our profession in a mighty way."

Coleen Stelter, SHRM-CP Human Resources Manager at VIC’s Crane & Heavy Haul

"I took Elga’s 5 day SPHR/PHR Certification prep class in March 2016. Elga is extremely knowledgeable and communicates very well- her method of teaching isn’t just reading she give examples from her vast experience which makes learning so much easier if you can apply to a real life situation. Her passion for the field of HR is addicting. I would highly recommend this class to anyone persuing their SPHR/PHR Certificate. Everything you need to pass is in this class- and with such a great teacher you can’t fail! I took the test May 16, 2016 and passed! THANK YOU ELGA!."
