Sound familiar?
You’ve been “planning to get certified” for how long now?
Maybe six months. Maybe a few years. You bought the study guide. You joined a Facebook group. You told yourself you’d start after the busy season, and then there was another busy season.
Meanwhile, the letters keep showing up after other people’s names. SHRM-CP. PHR. SPHR. They’re getting the interviews, the promotions, and the seat at the table you know you’ve earned.
The SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, and SPHR exams don’t just test what you know. They test how you think. Most study programs hand you 600 pages and say “cover everything,” and that’s why smart, experienced HR professionals fail on the first try. Not because they weren’t prepared enough. Because they were preparing wrong.
That’s what this hour fixes.
In this 60-minute masterclass
Five things you’ll walk away with
1
The R.E.A.D. Framework™
Read, Evaluate, Analyze, Decide. The four-step method for breaking down situational exam questions the way the exam writers expect, so you stop second-guessing between two “right” answers.
2
The 10-week study plan
My exact week-by-week system for covering every competency and knowledge area without cramming, without 3 a.m. study sessions, and without burning out before test day.
3
The 3 content areas most candidates underestimate
These quietly tank scores. You’ll leave knowing exactly where to put your study time so you’re not leaving easy points on the table.
4
Which exam is right for you
SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR. We’ll match the credential to your experience and where you want your career to go, so you’re not paying for the wrong test.
5
Your path to the next testing window
What to do this month to be sitting for the exam by the next window, plus a special opportunity I only share with masterclass attendees.

Meet your instructor
Latisha Newby, Esq., SHRM-SCP, PHR
I’m an HR attorney and HR executive who has spent more than 20 years doing the work you’re studying about: investigations, terminations, policy, compliance, and the judgment calls that never show up cleanly in a textbook.
I also hold both the SHRM-SCP and the PHR, and I’ve coached HR professionals through these exams cohort after cohort. Students in my HR Certification Accelerator pass at an 85% rate, against a national average near 54%. They don’t just pass. They walk out as more strategic, more confident HR leaders.
The book
Author of You’re More Ready Than You Think, written for people pursuing HR certification who need someone to tell them the truth: you already know more than the exam gives you credit for.

Student stories
They were “planning to get certified” too
In their own words, from students who sat for the exam after studying with Latisha.
“
I had the SHRM-approved online resources, but Latisha’s videos and explanations were truly what saved me. I took her SHRM-CP prep class and felt so prepared that I took the PHR the following week. I aced it too.

Latisha doesn’t just review the material. She teaches you how to THINK through the questions, break them down, and identify the best solution. She provides flashcards, class recordings, and so many additional study tools that make learning both manageable and effective.
Alisha A. · SHRM-CP
“
Cultivate HR Consulting made all the difference in my SPHR certification journey. Latisha’s program is thorough, well-structured, and genuinely prepares you for exam day. The encouragement and community kept me motivated when I needed it most.
Lorinnsa B. · SPHR
“
Her teaching style made the content engaging and easy to follow. It honestly felt like being part of a live class. I found myself responding as if she could hear me. I passed my exam.
Lakeisha W. · SHRM-CP
“
The content was well organized, easy to follow, and covered concepts in a way that made them much easier to understand than simply reading the SHRM learning materials. I felt so much more confident going into my exam.
Melissa P. · PHR
“
Gaining my SHRM-SCP certification is a major accomplishment for me both personally and professionally, and I could not have done it without this platform. It’s a great investment for my future in HR.

Is this for you?
This masterclass is built for you if…
You don’t need to be “ready.” You need a plan and someone who has walked people through it before.
✓You’re working in HR now, or transitioning into it, and you’re planning to sit for the SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR in the next six months.
✓You’ve tried self-study and stalled out, or you took the exam once and didn’t pass, and you’re not doing that again without a different approach.
✓You’ve been passed over for a role or a promotion because the posting said “certification preferred,” and you’re done letting that be the reason.
✓You have a full-time job, a family, a life, and you need a plan that fits inside it instead of one that asks you to put everything on hold.
It’s probably not for you if
You’re not planning to test in the next 12 months, you’re looking for a shortcut that takes zero effort, or you’re already committed to a program that’s working for you.
Questions
Before you save your seat
Is this really free?
What if I can’t make the time I picked?
I’m not sure which certification I should pursue.
I failed the exam before. Is this still for me?
How is this different from the SHRM Learning System?
What happens after I register?
How long is it?
One last thing
Certification doesn’t happen by accident. It happens on purpose.
The gap between you and those letters after your name isn’t knowledge. It’s strategy. The people who get certified aren’t the ones with the most free time. They’re the ones who stopped planning and picked a date. This is your date.
