Pre-approved for PHR® Certification
According to the HRCI Website, those who achieve the PHR® certification "demonstrate a mastery of the technical and operational aspects of HR practices and U.S. laws and regulations," and the "professionally relevant credential is for the HR professional who focuses on program implementation, has a tactical/logistical orientation, is accountable to another HR professional within the organization and has responsibilities that focus on the HR department rather than the whole organization."
The PHR® certification is valid for three years after testing. The only way to avoid re-taking the exam is by accumulating 60 credit hours of continuing education activities, which must be HR-related, completed before the three-year anniversary of the certification cycle. To be consider HR-related, the instructional content will be related to the PHR® Exam Content Outline found on the HRCI Website, and adds to the certificant's knowledge of the HR field.
The certificant can earn all 60 recertification credit hours in continuing education, including e-learning and Web-based instruction, and earn one (1) recertification credit hour for every hour of continuing education, actual instruction time. The PHR® CE credits certificate, a downloadable PDF, is acceptable documentation for recertification.
