Human resources training in California
38 human resources programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
24 schools offer these human resources programs, and California has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Human resources specialists recruit, screen and interview job applicants and place new hires in jobs. Most have a bachelor's degree in human resources, business or a related field; certification is usually voluntary, though some employers prefer or require it.1
In California, 12 of the 38 programs take students without a high school diploma, 17 ask for a diploma or equivalent, 8 ask for earlier courses first and 1 asks for a bachelor's degree.
By kind, the 38 programs here are HR certificate or course (34 programs), PHR and SHRM-CP exam prep (3 programs) and human resources program (level not stated, 1 program).

Where the California human resources program numbers come from
Which California human resources programs are on this list?
These are the human resources programs California approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what California offers.
How the prices and results of California human resources programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
