Register today! Validation of Professional Experience Information Session - November 21 12pm-1pm click here OR November 22 5pm-6pm click here

CPHR Candidates should attend at least one information session prior to submitting their Validation of Professional Experience (VPE) application. The info session will review the application form in detail and answer your questions related to submitting your VPE. Get your questions answered in person by Lori Brûlé, CPHR Designation Manager.

The Validation of Professional Experience (VPE) requires candidates to demonstrate three or more years of professional experience in human resources within the last ten (10) years (the length of experience required depends on the path taken). 

The VPE requires Candidates to demonstrate experience at the professional level, which means that you must be using technical HR knowledge and have a level of autonomy in the application of your HR knowledge. Duties that are purely administrative requiring no HR knowledge are not considered.

Did you know there are alternate paths to becoming a CPHR including a non-degree path?

CPHR Manitoba's new non-degree pathway recognizes HR knowledge and expertise gained through professional HR experience. Here are the top reasons to achieve the CPHR without a degree:

1. Proven Expertise - By pursuing the CPHR designation, you will prove your ability to tackle all aspects of HR and demonstrate to employers and colleagues alike that you are a true HR expert. 

2. Continual Learning - To maintain your designation, you will be challenged to continually update your knowledge and skills in HR.

3. Demonstrated Commitment - By pursuing your CPHR, you highlight your long-term passion for the profession. You join the class of HR professionals that employers seek out.

4. Knowledge Community - As a CPHR, you are part of an exclusive, nationwide community of HR experts. Through special events, conferences, publications and websites, you can connect with other HR professionals across Canada.

5. Ethical Behaviour - CPHRs are held to the CPHR Manitoba Code of Ethics & Rules of Professional Conduct. You earn the confidence of your employer, colleagues and peers with the knowledge that you are committed to a Code that demands the highest standards for the profession.
