When to Enroll for CPHR Certification

We recommend enrolling for the CPHR certification program once you meet the eligibility requirements and feel confident about your HR experience. Typically, candidates with at least 3 years of HR work experience in the last 5 years are eligible to take the CPHR exam. If you have an HR degree, you may qualify for the exam with less work experience. The application process involves submitting your educational and professional credentials to verify your eligibility.

CPHR Exam Process

The CPHR exam is a rigorous assessment that evaluates your proficiency across key HR areas such as recruitment, compensation, performance management, labor relations, and organizational development. The exam is conducted twice a year, typically in Spring and Fall. It consists of multiple-choice questions that test both theoretical knowledge and practical HR scenarios.

Exemptions for CPHR

There are certain exemptions for candidates who have completed equivalent certifications or HR-related academic programs. Candidates with SHRM-SCP (Senior Certified Professional), SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources), SPHRi (Senior Professional in Human Resources – International), or other internationally recognized HR certifications may be eligible for exemptions from certain parts of the CPHR certification process. However, the final decision on exemptions rests with the CPHR BC & YK certification body.
