2) Education

Fees
As determined by MyCreds, WES, and IQAS and are based on the type of reports and information you require.

Please review the Coursework Requirement and Pathways to the Designation. If your education is not focused in HR, you must complete the coursework requirement prior to being eligible to register for the NKE. Course fees are dependent upon which post-secondary institute they are taken through. 

3) Knowledge

To prove you have the knowledge required to become a CPHR, you must register for and pass the National Knowledge Exam ® (NKE), or apply for an NKE Waiver.

NKE Prep Courses (optional) are available to writers to effectively write the NKE. 

Once you pass the NKE, or have an approved NKE Waiver, you become a CPHR Candidate and can represent yourself as such. Your membership category would change from that of an Associate Member to a CPHR Candidate Member.
