Recertification is required every three years. Professionals need to earn 60 professional development credits (PDCs) in order to recertify.
SHRM has addressed the needs of HR professional by creating three avenues by which SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP credential-holders can earn recertification credits:
Advance Your Education,
Advance Your Organization, and
Advance Your Profession.
|
Work Projects
Supervisor-endorsed work projects that meet or support organizational goals and demonstrate or advance capabilities in one or more HR Competencies. To be awarded credit, upload documentation to your certification portal providing a defined project objective, a description of the project and your level of involvement, and how the project related to all applicable HR competencies.
PDCs are calculated based on time spent working on a project. Qualifying work projects fall into one of only two categories: -
50+ hours spent and a minimum of 3+ months = 10 PDCs
-
100+ hours spent and a minimum of 6+ months = 20 PDCs
