10 CERTIFICATION OVERVIEW This handbook describes the following exams: Professional In Human Resources (PHR): this exam is designed for HR professionals whose primary responsibilities are operational rather than strategic. Their focus is on HR program implementation rather than creation and their function is primarily within the HR department rather than organization wide. Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR): this exam is designed for HR professionals whose primary responsibilities involve designing and planning HR policies and practices. Their decisions have an impact both within HR and throughout the organization. Global Professional In Human Resources (GPHR): this exam is designed for HR professionals with HR management responsibilities in more than one country. They develop and implement HR strategies dealing with global mobility and multinational operations. PHR-CA and SPHR-CA: these exams are designed for HR professionals with job responsibilities in the state of California. Applicants must have a current PHR or SPHR to qualify (see for more information). The exam focuses on California employment laws and practices and does not test knowledge already covered in the PHR or SPHR exam. Each exam measures a candidate s mastery of a specific HR body of knowledge. See Appendices A, B, & C for descriptions of the content focus for each exam. WHAT IS CERTIFICATION? HR certification is a career-long commitment that demonstrates a mastery of essential HR knowledge to peers, employers and the organization. Candidates who earn certification show they are committed to staying current in the HR field. Candidates must also show they have the required education and work experience to be eligible to apply for the exams. Passing the exam is only one part of the certification process. Afterwards recertification requirements ensure that HR professionals continue to remain knowledgeable and current with changes in the field. COMPONENTS OF PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS HR Certification Institute s professional certification programs have several components that differentiate them from other training or educational programs, sometimes referred to as certificate programs. Candidates who have passed these rigorous exams demonstrate the following: A high level of knowledge and skill through experience and education in the HR field; A dedication to continued mastery of knowledge and skill through recertification; and The mark of distinction indicating their credential (letters), such as Norman Fowler, PHR, or Sandra Brown, SPHR, GPHR. WHY EARN A CREDENTIAL? Certification provides a respected distinction for HR professionals who achieve the credential. The advantages of earning certification include: Hiring managers often consider an HR applicant s professional certifications when making hiring decisions. A growing number of organizations prefer to employ HRcertified professionals. Business leaders frequently find HR-certified professionals to be highly motivated, strong performers who are more knowledgeable of the HR field. HR professionals report that having a certified HR staff is good for their organization s financial performance. SOURCE: The Value of HR Certification Around the World study, 2010 (To obtain a copy of the study, please exams@hrci.org) Achieving certification validates the individual s professional knowledge and helps the industry and the organization become more successful. PHR, SPHR, GPHR, and PHR- CA/SPHR-CA certifications show that a professional has mastered the domestic or international HR body of knowledge and will stay informed of new developments in the HR field. 10 HR Certification Institute hrci.org
11 The exams are completely voluntary, although some organizations or employers may have policies that encourage their employees to earn certification. HR professionals should decide if attaining HR certification meets their needs and the needs of their employers. CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE EXAM Candidates should choose the exam that best represents their mastery of the HR body of knowledge, as described in appendices A, B, & C.

All of the Institute s exams include new questions that have not been used on previous versions of the exam. These items are known as pre-test items. Including pre-test items allows the Institute to gather valuable data about the new questions before they are included in the candidate s overall score. The HR Certification Institute does not identify the pre-test items and scatters them throughout the exam so that candidates will answer them with the same care in which they address scored questions. The pre-test items are not included in the final score. PHR AND SPHR EXAMS The PHR and SPHR exams are based on U.S. federal laws, regulations and practices. The exams are general in nature, so they assess all areas of the HR field. PHR questions test basic knowledge and experience at an operational or technical level. The SPHR questions test knowledge and experience at the strategic or policy-making level. Exam questions relate to the most recently published PHR/ SPHR Body of Knowledge (see Appendix A). The table on the below shows the percentages of questions in each functional area covered in the exams. Each exam has a total of 175 multiple-choice questions, which includes 150 scored questions and 25 pretest questions randomly distributed throughout the exam.

20 DISCIPLINARY AND CERTIFICATION ACTION/APPEALS An individual who has already earned a designation may have it revoked for the same reasons noted above as part of a disciplinary action in violation of The HR Certification Institute s Code of Ethical and Professional Responsibility (See Appendix F). EXAM TEST CENTERS AND APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING TEST CENTER LOCATIONS The HR Certification Institute partners with Prometric to deliver the certification exams. Prometric will notify you of any changes in the test site availability due to bad weather, technical issues, or other unscheduled events. SCHEDULE EARLY The HR Certification Institute encourages you to schedule your exam appointment date as soon as you receive your notification that the ATT letter is available in your online profile. Scheduling early increases the chance of receiving the preferred testing date, time and location. Exam appointment dates at the end of each testing period may be difficult to obtain due to the increased volume of test takers during this time. The HR Certification Institute will only refund you 50 percent of your exam fee if you are unable to schedule an exam appointment because the test sites are full. Refer to the Exam Cancellations and Refunds sections of this handbook for more information. EXAM SCHEDULING Exam appointments may be scheduled online or by phone. When scheduling an appointment, have the following information ready: Your name exactly as it is printed on your ATT letter Your User ID number as it is listed at the top of your ATT letter Prometric refers to it as an Eligibility ID. Your daytime phone number The name of the exam sponsor (HR Certification Institute) The exam for which you are registered (PHR, SPHR, GPHR, PHR-CA or SPHR-CA) Your preferred appointment date, time and location. Have one to two alternate dates, times and locations in case your preferred ones are not available. Online scheduling is better because it is faster and more efficient. You must have an address to schedule online. To schedule online, visit and click on Schedule a Test. Note: Candidates scheduling an appointment during the last two days of the exam period must schedule by phone. Phone scheduling is also available by the appropriate Regional Contact Center. See Appendix E for more information about Regional Contact Centers. Keep the confirmation number Prometric provides after the appointment is scheduled. This number is different from the User ID number and is required to confirm, reschedule or cancel an appointment. EXAM DATES AFFECTED BY SEVERE WEATHER AND LOCAL OR NATIONAL EMERGENCIES If there is severe weather, a local emergency or a national emergency near the testing center, go to com/sitestatus for updates on closures or delays, or contact your Regional Contact Center for international test site information (Appendix E). You will not be assessed a rescheduling fee if Prometric cancels an exam due to severe weather or a local or national emergency. EXAM RESCHEDULES, RESCHEDULE FEE, CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS NOTE: You can only reschedule an exam appointment to another date in the same testing period. RESCHEDULING PROCESS AND FEE The HR Certification Institute does not charge a rescheduling fee to you if you reschedule an exam appointment before the testing period begins. 20 HR Certification Institute hrci.org
