Classes will be offered 6-9 p.m. Thursdays, Feb. 10 to April 28, and can provide 3.6 continuing education units. Online registration is available at www.globalcampus.uark.edu on the professional development page.

The Society for Human Resource Management Learning System is designed for people seeking continuing professional development and a broad overview of the field.

Participants will increase their knowledge of the field of human resources and receive current reference of human resource practices, including updates on current policies and legislation. As a certification preparation tool, the program has a measurable track record of success for those qualified to sit for the exam. Visit www.hrci.org for 2011 exam eligibility requirements, costs and application dates.
