Certification
With certification from SHRM and the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI), you will set yourself apart from the crowd, setting new standards for the human resource field, and creating excellence in the industry.
SHRM offers the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP human resources designations.
HRCI offers three levels of certification intended for professionals currently working in the human resource management field. You can become certified as either a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) or a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR). To be eligible to take either the PHR or SPHR exam, you should have a minimum of two years of exempt-level HR work experience.
If you have international or global responsibilities you may also certify as a Global Professional in Human Resources (GPHR).
