Certification
Overview
Human Resource Certification is the symbol of professional achievement. Beyond
experience and education, the PHR, SPHR, GPHR designation signifies that you
have mastered the HR body of knowledge. Certification provides:
-
National recognition of your professional achievement.
-
An aid for career advancement.
-
A reminder to peers and coworkers of your professional
achievement through the use of your certification designation on business
correspondence and by displaying the certificate.
Certification exams are administered twice annually (May and December).
The PHR, SPHR, and GPHR says that the holder has demonstrated mastery of the HR
body of knowledge and has accepted the personal challenge to stay informed of
new developments in the HR field. To be successful in their jobs, HR
professionals must know how to deal effectively with strategic management and
planning issues, international competition, management staffing and family and
social issues that affect the workplace.
Certification through HRCI is completely voluntary and is conferred solely for
the purposes stated above. HRCI does not recommend that organizations or
individuals incorporate PHR, SPHR, and GPHR certification as a condition of
employment or advancement.
