About Recertification

Why do I need to recertify?

As an HR leader, you must remain in ongoing career education. Recertification demonstrates your commitment to continuous learning and self-improvement, continued growth and development, and competence as you advance in your career.

How often do I need to recertify?

After passing your certification exams, whether through HRCI or SHRM, you are required to renew your certification every three years. You can achieve this by completing professional development activities to receive recertification credits.

What are some ways to qualify for recertification?

HR-related activities such as seminars, online materials, webinars, books, online courses, and conferences are some of the ways you can earn recertification credits. OR, you may wish to recertify by taking the certification exam again. Either way, you demonstrate continuing competence as a credentialed HR professional.
