What Are SHRM PDC Credits?

SHRM Professional Development Credits (PDCs) are continuing education units required by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to maintain the SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) credentials.

The Society for Human Resource Management is the world's largest HR professional society, representing over 340,000 members in more than 180 countries. SHRM sets the standard for HR certification and ongoing professional development. PDC credits ensure that certified HR professionals stay current with employment laws, workplace policies, talent management strategies, and evolving industry best practices.
