Becoming certified by the HR Certification Institute is a career-long commitment. HR certificants from around the globe, working for companies both large and small, have earned and maintained their certifications and, as a result, helped their HR career. Achieving certification demonstrates to your peers and organization that you are driven to be successful in HR.

 

The HR Certification Institute offers three core certifications:

- Professional in Human Resources (PHRŪ)

- Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHRŪ)

- Global Professional in Human Resources (GPHRŪ)

 

The PHR and SPHR exams assess generalist knowledge of the HR field, including strategic business management, workforce planning and employment, HR development, total rewards, employee and labor relations, and risk management.

 

The GPHR exam assesses the international HR body of knowledge and is intended for HR professionals with cross-border responsibilities. The tested areas include strategic HR management, global talent acquisition and mobility, global compensation and benefits, organizational effectiveness, talent development, workforce relations, and risk management.

Exam Requirements

Candidates for exams must have a minimum of two years of professional HR experience and provide evidence that 51% of their daily activities within the HR function are at the exempt level as deemed by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).  

 

Please note: The eligibility requirements for the PHR, SPHR and GPHR exams are changing starting with the May/June 2011 exams.  
 
Financial Assistance Available

There are scholarships available for those pursuing HR certification.  The SHRM Foundation offers a $750 scholarship for SHRM members pursuing a college degree or professional certification.  More information is available at SHRM Foundation Scholarships and Awards.

 

Recertification

Sixty (60) recertification credit hours are required every three years to maintain your certification.  The recertification requirements are in place to ensure that you increase your HR knowledge and expertise.  Because the HR trends, practices and policies are constantly changing, achieving these requirements helps you stay current in the HR field.
