Make Your Organization Part of the HRCI and Professional Development Community

Most readers of this blog are familiar with HR Certification Institute® (HRCI®) credentials as a professional development plus. Many HR leaders, too, hire only HRCI-credentialed practitioners for their proven organizational impact.

There are still other, perhaps lesser known ways, to become part of the HRCI community. Consider making your HR organization part of our Certification Preparation Provider program to help HR professionals earn credentials. Or, if so inclined, become a Approved Provider, where our community of credential holders go to for HRCI-approved recertification credits.

Become an HRCI Certification Preparation Provider

Becoming a Certification Preparation Provider is an excellent opportunity for qualified organizations to earn additional revenue and give back to the development of the HR community. By offering professional development opportunities, you can elevate your organization’s brand and recognition by aligning with HRCI.
