CHRP - Exam One Down
On May 7th I wrote the first of two exams I need to pass before I will become a Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP). These are some of the advantages of the designation as described on the CHRP website:
congratulations, I am sure you passed with flying colours!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Do you really enjoy being in human resources, like do you see yourself doing it for a long time or is it something you just like for now?
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I haven't heard of this before. Do you know how it differs from the PHR or SPHR classifications that SHRM does?
ReplyDeleteThanks All!
ReplyDelete@ Babyblue - I haven't heard of those designations before
@babyblue the CHRP is a Canadian designation as the PHR or SPHR is an American one. Also, the PHR and SPHR differs in terms of level of career (professional vs senior whereas anyone who passes the two exams (NKE and NPPA) becomes a CHRP. We have a SHRP (senior human resources professional) designation that is something completely different.

I've been checking out your blog on a regular basis and just want to say good luck! I received my CHRP certification last year and I was very proud of myself. LOL Although, I didn't pass by very much...! They advertised the list of last year's CHRP designation recepients in the Globe and Mail a couple of months ago too.
