CPHR Canada has entered an agreement with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to mutually recognize each other's certification programs. CPHR members can now earn the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credential by completing SHRM's Certification Pathway, which involves an online tutorial and having the required years of professional HR experience. Current CPHR holders who are in good standing and agree to SHRM's policies will receive the SHRM-CP with 3 years experience or the SHRM-SCP with 6 years experience upon completing the pathway. The last date of registration for the SHRM CP and SCP is February 20th.
