This course provided excellent clarity and structure I needed to better navigate the federal hiring process. The instruction was engaging; the material was sectioned in a way that helped me understand with practicable tools I can use immediately.

The course on federal job analysis was excellent, thanks to the clear and insightful instruction of Sarah Gurwitz. Her expertise made complex concepts easily understandable. Highly recommend this course because of their knowledge and teaching ability.

Great class! Sarah Gurwitz was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Helped us understanding job analysis and how we can and how we should be using this on our day-to-day.

Great experience as always!

Very good class. I liked how it was very relevant and will be helpful in my current position.

Victoria was an awesome instructor who ensured we retained the information. She also answered all of our questions.

Excellent material and knowledgeable instructor that could think outside the box. The pacing of the class was great. A lot of great information and overview of all things HR. First time exposure to discipline issue and a deeper dive into performance management.

Wow, what a difference a year makes! You have changed my mind regarding Graduate School USA, by bringing on an instructor who is extremely knowledgeable on HR Management. All hail Dawndee Crawford! I will look for courses lead by her in the future. Dawndee Crawford is a wonderful instructor. Thank you.

This was a good refresher course and materials were great.

Candace kept in mind the varying experiences that were in the class. The materials provided enough content in that someone with little experience could follow along and that someone more experience could figure out more tricky or complicated exercises.

It's a great class to take to understand the base of rules and regulations of setting pay. I learned a lot in the three days of the class. Rhonda was a great instructor. She made sure to take the time to answer any and all questions the students had. She made sure we all understood before moving on to something new.

The Graduate School conducts quality classes for the Federal HR Specialist.

Ms. Rhonda was awesome! I do not work in staffing, but am considering making a move. Everything made sense as I watched her explain. Thank you Ms. Rhonda!

I would encourage my coworkers to take this class, all of the topics in the course are relevant and it is good to know where to find these topics if you need them. Ms. Rhonda Coach-Steward is very knowledgeable on Pay Setting, this is not an easy topic to learn, however her instruction helped enhance my limited skill set. I feel more confident in performing this task.

The class and group exercises were very beneficial. It was helpful to talk it out and work through examples in a smaller group. Rhonda was very knowledgeable and engaging. She did a great job of presenting the information. Great content.

Loved it. Great teacher and excellent course. Will come again!

Enjoyed this more than other classes I have taken.

Johanne was very well spoken and had a a great level of expertise on the course material. Learned a lot and appreciate the information.

This course and the instructor provided me with valuable information and guidance for someone who is fresh in Federal HR. The class did not feel rushed, and the instructor was patient, confident, and well prepared. I have some many additional recourses to use now.

Very informative. Enjoyed this course very much.

Overall experience was good. The course was a challenge for me; however, the instructor was amazing over going over the course material.

The content and materials were good. DeShanta Hinton was very patient and helpful. She made me feel at ease and I felt comfortable asking questions.

Patti knew her stuff and was thorough and patient when questions were asked.

I am thankful for the opportunity to take this training. I learned a lot of the useful information.

Great class! Would recommend to all new HR Recruiters for federal employment. Phil provided relevant examples of the topics discussed to show how it can be provided.
