At HR Education Network, we create the classroom experience from the comfort of your home or office. Our recertification courses range in length from one hour to four hours in length. All courses are available as live webcasts and live webcasts replays, and must be viewed on a specific date and time. Each course replays multiple times per month for your convenience.

Webcasts are intended for use by individual professionals watching at their own computer, using streaming video technology, provided by our internet ASP.

HR Education Network courses also deliver a unique educational bonus! Instead of a single discussion leader, the majority of our courses are presented by two or more instructors. This provides the viewers with an engaging discussion-based program and the benefit of multiple view points by national HR presenters and practitioners.

All HR Education Network courses employ cutting-edge video webcast technology–a cut above the traditional online audio-only webinars. Participants can also download relevant materials, submit questions to the presenters, and get technical help from our full-time help desk in the event of difficulty.

Speakers will respond to questions and expand on points that you need clarified. No other CE source adds this expanded dimension to their CE programming.
