How to Recertify
A Commitment to Continuous Growth in a Changing Workplace
Recertification reflects a commitment to staying current as HR continues to evolve. It ensures your knowledge and skills remain sharp—not just at the time you earn your credential, but throughout your career.
It’s also part of what makes HRCI certifications widely trusted by HR professionals and the organizations they support. And with more accessible ways to earn credits, maintaining your certification is more achievable than ever.
How Recertification Works
Choose Your Recertification Path
After earning your HRCI certification, you’ll need to recertify every three years. You can do this by completing professional development activities and earning recertification credits.
Credits can be earned through HR-related learning, such as conferences, courses, webinars, and reading, as well as professional achievements like implementing new programs, volunteering your expertise, or conducting research.
You may also choose to recertify by retaking your exam.
Ways to Recertify
Add completed learning to your recertification application or earn credit automatically through the HRCI Learning Center.
Take the guesswork out of recertification—search the HRCI-approved provider network for courses that offer credit.
Recertify by retaking the exam as an alternative to earning credits through ongoing professional development.
