Earn HRCI Recertification Credits Through Practical HR Training

What Are HRCI Recertification Credits?

HRCI recertification credits are continuing education units required by the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI) to maintain professional HR certifications. HRCI is the leading independent certifying body for HR professionals, founded in 1976 and recognized globally for setting the standard in HR certification.

HRCI credentials include the PHR® (Professional in Human Resources), SPHR® (Senior Professional in Human Resources), GPHR® (Global Professional in Human Resources), aPHR™ (Associate Professional in Human Resources), PHRca™ (Canada), PHRi™ (International), and SPHRi™ (International). To maintain any HRCI certification, professionals must earn recertification credits every three years or retake the certification exam. These credits ensure that certified HR professionals stay current with employment laws, workplace policies, talent management strategies, and evolving industry best practices.
