Promoting the human resource profession
HR Certification: What it is, who it's for, and how to get it.
Follow these steps to earn your credential as a human resource professional.
HR certification provides recognition, opportunities, and potentially better pay.
You will be distinguished as an HR professional with sufficient experience and knowledge to pass a comprehensive certification exam based on the vast body of knowledge that comprises the human resource field.
You’ll join more than 500,000 HR professionals in 100 countries who have obtained HRCI® certification. Certification is increasingly being recognized as an essential standard for HR managers; many companies already limit employment to those who are certified professionals.
A recent study found that certified HR professionals often receive higher salaries, report higher career satisfaction, have greater potential for promotions, and are more likely to be employed full time in comparison with those not certified.
