What is the Pre-Approved Program?



If your organization offers HR-related continuing education activities, send us the content for each activity for review and we can decide:   

  • whether certified HR professionals can earn recertification credits by attending your activity, and  
  • what type and number of recertification credits they can earn 

 

Benefits of the Pre-Approved Programs

Obtaining pre-approved status for your organization lets you market your continuing education activities to more than 108,000 certified HR professionals who must earn recertification credits to stay certified.

When we pre-approve your activities, we add your organization’s name to our online Approved Provider Listing and complete information about these activities to our Searchable Directory of Pre-Approved Activities. Our certified HR professionals use them to find ways to earn recertification credits.
