CPHR Mutual Recognition

CPHR Prince Edward Island has entered an agreement with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) – the world’s largest HR professional society, to mutually recognize each organizations’ certification programs (the Chartered Professionals in Human Resources credential – CPHR, and SHRM’s Certified Professional – SHRM-CP, and Senior Certified Professional – SHRM-SCP credentials).

CPHR members have the opportunity to earn the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credential through the completion of SHRM’s Certification Pathway.

The SHRM Certification Pathway is a series of steps eligible participants complete to obtain a SHRM credential. The core of the process is an online tutorial that provides an overview of the SHRM Competency Model and explores how the competency model supports your professional development.

The SHRM Certification Pathway will be offered to current CPHR credential holders who…

  • Are in good standing with CPHR PEI
  • Review and agree to the SHRM Certification Candidate Agreement, the SHRM Bylaws, the Code of Ethics, and the SHRM Privacy Policy
  • Complete the SHRM Certification Pathway Tutorial

Applicants who complete the above process and have a minimum of 3 years of professional HR experience, will receive the SHRM-CP credential.

Applicants who complete the above process and have a minimum of 6 years professional HR experience, will receive the SHRM-SCP credential.
