HRCI professionals can complete 100% of the total required Recertification credit hours via self-study courses. i.e., HRCI Professionals can complete all Recertification credit hours via self-study courses from HRCI-approved providers as myCPE is approved by HRCI.

HRCI professionals can carry forward a maximum of 15 credits to the next reporting cycle. Surplus credits must have been actively earned within the last 12 months of your three-year recertification cycle.

Your recertification account will be created once HRCI receives and uploads your official exam results. Your certification cycle will end on the last day of your birth month. Depending on when you earn your certification, your initial certification cycle could be longer than three years.

HRCI recommends that you enter your activities into your application throughout your recertification cycle. For each activity, upload documentation that demonstrates you have completed an activity. If you are selected for an audit, you will need to submit all supporting documents for the activities listed in your recertification application.

This includes:

  • Certificates or letters of attendance/completion.
  • Registration forms, receipts, or email confirmations.
  • Project documents for on-the-job experience.

Suspended Status

It is your primary responsibility to keep your certification active by complying with all recertification requirements on or before your cycle end date. Your certification cycle end date occurs at the end of your birthday month and is displayed in your online profile and on the digital badge. If you fail to submit your application by the last day of your cycle, your credential(s) will be placed in Suspended status for up to 12 months. A $100 USD Suspended Fee is automatically added to the fees due when you submit the application for review.

Expired Status

Failure to recertify during the 12-month Suspended Status period will result in the credential being irrevocably Expired. Once any credential is in the expired status, you must reapply, qualify, and successfully pass the current edition of the exam to regain the use of such credential(s).

Please visit this link for more details.

HRCI Emeritus status allows currently certified HR professionals whose status is still active (not suspended or expired) to continue to use their designation(s) after they retire from the HR profession. This means that the certificate will no longer have to recertify every 3-years going forward. There is a one-time $150 fee to apply for Emeritus status.

Based on the guidelines issued by these boards regarding Recertification credit hours requirements, we recommend the programs/ webinars to be suitable for HRCI Professionals specified in each webinar.
