| Re-Certification - IMPORTANT INFORMATION |
Congratulations on becoming certified! When you became certified - whether it was last month, last year or three or more years ago - you demonstrated not only your support of the HR profession, but your professional commitment to excellence in the field. Your journey, however, has just started.
Recertification demonstrates your continued dedication to stay up to date with rapidly changing HR profession. To retain the PHR, SPRH or GPHR designations, HRCI requires all certificants to recertify every three years by accumulating 60 credit hours through continuing education, instruction, on-the-job experience, research and publishing, leadership activities or professional membership in a national HR association. For SPHR certificants, 15 of the 60 hours must be in strategic HR management; for GPHR certificants, 30 hours must be in international HR management. Certificants also have the option of recertifying by exam. HRCI now has an online system for tracking recertification activities.
Your certification cycle begins in the month in which you first become certified, for example if you became certified in December 2006 you be due to recertify three years from that date (December 2009). A recertification application may be submitted online or you may submit a paper application.
When selecting programs you may come across some that have an “Approved- for-Credit” seal from HRCI. While you are not required to have pre-approved programs on your recertification application, it eliminates the guesswork when taking continuing education workshops, conferences, seminars or courses by letting you know that HRCI will accept the credit hours from the program when you include them on your application. Both SHRM National and MT|SHRM offer programs that include the “Approved-for-Credit” seal. You can find out more about these programs by visiting www.shrm.org/education and further down on the Professional Development page of MT|SHRM’s website.
