Spring 2022 NKE Registration Now Open
Hello Associate Members,
As of Jan. 1, 2022, Associate Members wishing to pursue the CPHR designation and write the NKE, must have met the HR coursework requirement, and receive approval from CPHR Saskatchewan prior to registering for the NKE. Information regarding the coursework requirement can be found here.
Proof of Education
Please request transcripts be mailed directly to CPHR Saskatchewan or emailed from your educational institution, to be reviewed well in advance of you registering for the NKE. In place of transcripts, education from outside Canada needs to be evaluated by either the World Education Services (WES) or International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) and sent directly to CPHR Saskatchewan. CPHR Saskatchewan accepts document-by-document reports from WES or basic assessments from IQAS. Documents can be emailed to info@cphrsk.ca, or mailed to:
CPHR Saskatchewan
210 - 3501 8th Street East
Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W5

HR Coursework Requirement
If you do not have a major/specialization in HR (it must be stated on your transcripts or evaluation report) but have taken some HR courses within Canada, please refer to the database mentioned under the coursework requirement on the website.
Courses are approved
If your coursework is in the pre-approved database, send an email to info@cphrsk.ca outlining which course(s) you have and from which institution in the database. For a course to meet the requirement, the applicant must have achieved a grade of C+ or 65% in the required course, otherwise, credit will not be given. CPHR Saskatchewan will assess your transcripts on file and confirm.
Courses are not approved
If your coursework is not in the pre-approved database, you will need to apply for a Prior Learning Assessment (PLAR) through Captus Press. This also applies to those with international education with HR courses but without the major/specialization in HR. Captus Press will perform your assessment and notify CPHR Saskatchewan. CPHR Saskatchewan will send you a confirmation email. There are fees associated with this assessment, which are listed on the Captus Press website.

NKE Ready
Once CPHR Saskatchewan has received and approved your transcripts your membership category will change to NKE Ready and you will be notified via email of this change. Once you receive the email, you are now NKE Ready and eligible to register to write the NKE.
If CPHR Saskatchewan does not have the required information prior to the NKE registration deadline of March 25, 2022, you will be unable to register for the May 26, 2022 exam. You must be NKE Ready to register — there will be no exceptions.
