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.

For more details about the Validation of Professional Experience, please click here. Can't join us? Contact Lori Brûlé, CPHR Designation Manager by email at lori@cphrmb.ca or by phone at 204-943-3624.

 

Recognition as a CPHR Candidate

Members who have either passed the National Knowledge Exam (NKE), or who have successfully applied for an NKE waiver and have not yet completed the Validation of Professional Experience (VPE) can use “CPHR Candidate” as a professional title.

The ability to be officially recognized as a CPHR Candidate provides you with valuable recognition. Use this title in resumes, business cards, emails, LinkedIn or any other public profiles.

Hiring mangers have shared that applicants with the CPHR Candidate title are given additional consideration and regarded as tangibly committed to the Human Resources profession.

Plus, new CPHR Candidates are listed in our bi-annual HRmatters magazine, which is delivered to more than 1,400 CPHR Manitoba members.

Did you know there are alternate paths to becoming a CPHR including a non-degree path? Click here to learn more or contact Lori Brûlé, CPHR Designation Manager, by email at lori@cphrmb.ca, or call 204-943-3624.
