Mary Baldwin College's Professional Human Resource
Management certificate program offers human resource professionals
an opportunity to stay on the cutting edge of HR concerns.
The program's focus is on study preparation for the
Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and the Senior Professional
in Human Resources (SPHR) examinations of the Human Resource
Certification Institute (HRCI). This course also meets recertification
requirements. Some institutions, including Mary Baldwin College,
offer transcript credit for this course.
The PHR and SPHR designations are the most widely
recognized professional credentials in the field. HR professionals
who earn these designations join the ranks of 26,000 others and
enjoy the prestige and enhanced career advancement opportunities
these measures of technical competence afford them.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You will receive the complete Society for Human Resource Management
(SHRM) Learning System, which reflects the general body of knowledge
tested by the HRCI. This is also an excellent up to date reference
on current HR practices including "real world" information
within each of the HR functional areas.
During the thirteen weeks of classes, the instructor facilitates
discussion of the primary topics in the learning system, complemented
by the wealth of experience shared by other participants. Practice
tests are given and discussed weekly to hone your skills and
prepare you for the certification exam. We offer an optional
review course shortly before the exam -- an excellent way to "cram"!
CERTIFICATE
Upon successful completion of this certificate program, you
will receive a certificate in Professional Human Resource Management
and 3.9 CEUs from Mary Baldwin College (4.5 CEUs including the
review course.) The HRCI administers the designation exams during
two annual testing windows: May 1-June 30 and November 15-January
15. All exams are computer-based, so results are known immediately.
For more information, contact the HRCI at www.hrci.org
or (866) 898-4724.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To earn either the PHR or SPHR designation, you must have two
years of HR exempt-level or comparable experience. Students and
recent graduates have different requirements. More information
on eligibility is included in the HRCI Certification Information
Handbook, which will be provided at the first class.
