Required Courses for Canadian and Foreign Candidates

The CPHR Academic Certificate Program provides important learning for HR Professionals and the required courses for attaining certification as a CPHR. Each course is authored by a leading Canadian HR academic and taught by a qualified instructor. You may register for only the course(s) you need. A CPHR Academic Program Completion Certificate is provided upon completion of this nine course Program with at least four of the courses taken in this Program; and the remaining courses may be credited through Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR), if you have previously taken equivalent courses. Completion of this Program can also qualify you to take the National Knowledge Exam (NKE).

You may also select our Accredited Option with an NKE Exemption. Find out about it > Here.

This program is intended for Canadian and Foreign candidates seeking certification for all provinces and territories in Canada except Ontario and Quebec. (*Please see below for a notice regarding certification in your Province.)
