SUBMITTING YOUR RECERTIFICATION CREDITSAs a certified SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP, you will have an online profile and be able to track your PDCs throughout your 3-year recertification cycle ending on the last day of your birth month. Once your recertification application is complete and has been approved, your next 3-year recertification cycle will begin from your existing end date.
You may submit your completed recertification application one year into your 3-year recertification cycle. If you complete your recertification cycle early, your end date will not change, and you may carry over up to 20 PDCs towards your new cycle.
Example:
- Initial certification cycle: May 2016 (took exam)–July 2019 (birth month)
- Recertified: December 2018
- Next 3-year recertification cycle: July 2019–July 2022
