HR CERTIFICATION INSTITUTE
New Certification
Have you heard about the new SHRM Learning System Champion Program? This recognition can be earned by chapters using the SHRM Learning System in their certification preparation study group and/or partnering with a local college/university to offer the course. Many chapters are already offering study groups or partnering with schools and qualify for this award now! Click here to see specific requirements and to complete the chapter tracking form.

New for 2014 in the Certification section of the VLRC!
"A Step-by-Step guide to Recertification" and "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Changes to the GPHR Body of Knowledge." There is also a blog that gives you added information about the GPHR — the GPHR Blog. Additionally, you can find a link to the new HRCI Info Hub, which is a Help Center with step-by-step instructions about how to update your profile and a video about how to submit recertification activities.
