What Qualifies Towards Recertification

For the purposes of meeting the recertification requirements through professional development activities, individuals must consult the recertification log. The log outlines development categories and types of activities that fall within each category. Each activity is allotted recertification points. You do not need to accrue recertification points in all categories.

HRPA pre-approves activities towards recertification. Before enrolling in a seminar, workshop or conference, look for the HRPA recertification seals and be guaranteed that the program will be accepted for recertification credit. 

Following participation at a pre-approved activity, the event provider issues the member an ID number. The member using this ID to identify the activity when completing and submitting the recertification log. Providers do not submit participant lists to HRPA. It is the members responsibility to track their own professional development.

Even if an activity is not pre-approved it may still qualify for recertification. Members are encouraged to consider the following question when selecting their recertification activities: "Does the activity further my abilities as an HR practitioner and strategic business partner?" If the answer is yes then log the activity.
