Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
579 tools and 208 practice questions for aPHRi preparation in one course, with study games and exam trainers: 272 ready-to-use files, checklists, templates and procedures, plus 307 models and methods.
Study the topic, take the tool, play the game, check yourself with a test.
Why first-time candidates struggle
aPHRi is an entry-level exam, but it covers the whole HR function: HR operations, recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits, development and retention, employee relations and risk. Candidates who are new to HR read the definitions and still cannot picture the work behind them. Then the exam describes a situation and asks what HR should do.
What changes after this course
You learn each topic through the tools HR uses. A hiring kit shows what a selection process looks like. A pay and benefits calculator shows how the numbers work. A workplace investigation file shows the steps and the records. When a question describes a situation, you recognise it. Then you test yourself: a quiz, a practice test, and a full mock exam with a readiness scorecard.
The highlight: study games and exam trainers
Preparation does not have to be reading and re-reading. The lecture files of the U.S. aPHR section are interactive: you open them in a browser and play.
- Three study games: flashcards, memory and match. Flip the cards and sort them into known and still learning, find term and definition pairs on a memory board, or connect the pairs against the clock. The games are built into 7 lecture files.
- 7 exam trainers. Each working file has a trainer with 15 exam-style questions on its topic.
- A full aPHR mock exam. 65 questions in 1 hour 45 minutes, followed by a readiness scorecard.
What is inside: 579 tools, counted file by file
You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.

Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
I have built exam preparation tools to help myself and other learners practise HR knowledge. I created a ChatGPT agent that reads the Exam Content Outline and generates questions at a chosen difficulty level. After an answer, it explains whether the response is correct and why. Learners can ask for clarification or switch to harder questions within the same conversation. This experience connects directly to the practice tools in this course.
How to use the course
Go through the five core sections in order, then take the final practice test. If you are sitting the U.S. aPHR exam, add the U.S. section and finish with the mock exam. Section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name.
