On October 29, 2014, HRPA (Ontario)  launched a tiered certification framework that recognized three levels of HR practice: Entry, Professional and Executive. 

While this framework includes substantial grandfathering capacity to support their membership in the transition process it represents some fundamental changes from the current CHRP model. This carries implications across the country and across the industry internationally.

The HRMAM Board of Directors is carefully examining how a change such as this would impact our organization and our membership. HRMAM will continue to monitor the rollout in Ontario and the resulting impacts there, but would also like to engage you, the membership, in a dialogue about the pros and cons related to this change. 

To do so, we encourage all HRMAM members to email hrmam@hrmam.org with their feedback. The question for discussion is:
What do you see as the benefits and the drawbacks of HRMAM adopting the HRPA certification framework?

More information can be found here.
