CPD Requirements for a CPHR:

• A minimum of 60 CPD hours including a minimum of a 3-hour ethics course during any 3-year rolling period
• A minimum of 10 CPD hours per calendar year

Why did CPHR Saskatchewan move to a rolling CPD requirement?

• Allow you flexibility in participating in continuing professional development to accommodate work and life demands. 
• Elevate the credibility of the CPHR designation as it shows that Professional Members remain current in their profession by completing an established minimum amount of CPD activities each year. This is similar to the accounting, legal and engineering professions.
• Positively impact you, as well as the public and their employers, as you will continually demonstrate you possess up-to-date and relevant HR knowledge.
• Consistency with CPHR Canada Member Associations

3-Year Rolling Period

Your 3-year rolling period is always “rolling” and continues indefinitely.  You’re always examining the most recent 3 years.  By December 31st of each year, 60 hours including a 3-hour ethics course must have accumulated in the current 3-year rolling period.  

Currently, you need to be aware of your hours for the 3-year rolling periods:  

• January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025,  
• January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026, and; 
• January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 

Examples:

Below is an example of 3-year rolling periods.

Example 1:

• Year 1 20X1 - 20 hours, Year 2 20X2 - 30 hours, Year 3 20X3 - 10 hours = 60 hours over 3 years with the minimum 10 hours per year

Example 2:

• Year 1 20X2 - 30 hours, Year 2 20X3 - 10 hours and Year 3 20X4 - 20 hours = 60 hours over 3 years with the minimum 10 hours per year.

Example 3:

• Year 1 20X3 - 10 hours, Year 2 20X4 – 20 hours, Year 3 20X5 -  20 hours = 50 hours over 3 years with the minimum 10 hours per year, did not meet 60 hour requirement.

Timeframes

It is strongly recommended that Professional Members enter their CPD information as it occurs throughout the year into the online CPD Reporting System. The deadline is January 15th of the following year to submit the minimum ten (10) CPD hours.  i.e. deadline is January 15, 2026 for January 1 to December 31, 2025. 

New Professional Members
If you are a new Professional Member who went through the Validation of Experience (VOE) process with CPHR Saskatchewan, you do not have to report CPD hours in the calendar year you became certified. You will commence the CPD requirement on January 1st of the following year.

Transfers or Mutual Agreements

If you have moved from another CPHR Canada Member Association, Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA), or received the designation through a Mutual Agreement with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) or Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD-UK), you are required to enter CPD the year you moved or received the designation with CPHR Saskatchewan.

Late Fee

A fee of $50.00 will be administered for not meeting and submitting the annual CPD requirement and/or the 3 year rolling calendar requirement by the deadline of January 15th the following year. 

Failure to Meet Requirements
Professional Members who have not met the requirements by January 15th will be allowed 15 days from the date of notification to submit. An invoice will be initiated for late fees. Failure to meet the CPD requirements may result in revocation.
