Chartered Professionals in Human Resources
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) or provide an exemption from having to take the NKE.

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.) For foreign students, because all the courses are provided online and can be taken anywhere in the world with a good Internet connection, there is no requirement for a study permit.

All nine courses are offered in each of three semesters per year, beginning in early January, May and September. The duration of classes for each semester is 12 weeks, followed by an exam period. Registration for the Spring 2025 Semester is now closed. The Fall 2025 Semester registration begins on June 20. 2025 and courses begin on September 3, 2025.
