Institute for Human Resource Management Education Introduction: The HR Certifications World Latest Developments In the latter part of 2014, the world s largest HR Membership body, SHRM of the USA initiated a significant change to the HR Certification World. SHRM having birthed the Human Resource Certifying Institute (HRCI) some 30 years decided that from January 1, 2015 they would no longer endorse/recognize the Certifications issued by HRCI, these being the PHR, SPHR and GPHR. SHRM would instead issue its own new Certifications commencing January 1, 2015, which will initially be restricted to those currently with HRCI Certifications converting to the new Certifications by way of a simple tutorial, an examination and payment of a fee. SHRM will not hold examinations for their new Certifications till at least the 2nd half of 2015 for those currently seeking Certification. Their new Certifications will be US centric, that is based solely on US Law and practice. HRCI in the meantime, now having completely divorced from SHRM, they had to move to new offices outside the SHRM HQ. HRCI not being other than an Examination body will now seek to re-brand itself and/or perhaps become a competitor to SHRM for membership. HRCI until now had relied on the SHRM Learning System for student examination preparation, however as the owners of this system SHRM will no longer provide same to a Competing Certification, thus HRCI has no access to preparation materials. So all and every person who wishes to take the HRCI examination (on-line) has virtually no access to preparation materials as well as authorized course preparation providers. To be a SHRM provider you cannot also be a HRCI examination material provider, we understand.
In the meantime there remains much confusion about the CIPD product offered as a Perhaps Certification. CIPD is the World s oldest Professional HR body. They require applicants to pass prescribed examinations in order to become Professional Members who are entitled to use the suffix MCIPD or FCIPD after their name. This denotes that they are indeed professionally qualified to a standard established by CIPD. The CIPD program generally available in the GCC, amongst others, is a Diploma offered by CIPD Enterprises Pty Ltd which is a for profit arm of CIPD. Being successful in this Diploma does NOT qualify you for professional membership of CIPD. In the meantime ihrme continues to offer a range of generic HR Certifications to the HR/Training Industry. ihrme although based in the USA has offices throughout the World and unlike the other bodies is NOT a membership body and provides both examination preparation courses, with the requirement that Faculty must be approved by ihrme and holds the relevant Certification prior to conducting programs. ihrme is currently the World s largest provider of generic HR Certifications and is the only body with fully translated courses in Arabic.
