PHR and SPHR

The PHR and SPHR exams assess generalist knowledge of the HR field, including strategic management, workforce planning and employment, HR development, total rewards, employee and labor relations, and risk management. The SPHR exam supersedes the PHR designation; therefore, the PHR and SPHR cannot be held simultaneously.

GPHR

The GPHR exam assesses the international HR body of knowledge and is intended for HR professionals who develop and implement global HR strategies, manage HR operations overseas and oversee international assignment management. You may have simultaneous certification in GPHR and PHR or SPHR.

INTERNATIONAL TEST CENTER FEE
Candidates who register to take the exam outside of the United States, U.S. territories or Canada will incur a U.S.$55 international test center fee. See Appendix E for information on taking the exam outside the United States, U.S. territories or Canada.
