Prior Learning Assessment Equivalency Course Database for the CPHR Academic Program

Here, you can determine whether academic courses you have taken previously have already been assessed as equivalent to courses in the CPHR Academic Program.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have successfully completed an academic Human Resources Program from a Canadian Province, please check the site of the Provincial CPHR Association to determine if it has been accepted as an accredited program. If it has, you do need to apply for PLAR.

Instructions:​

• Use Find on your Browser or scroll down to find your College, University or Institution and click on "Institution" to open the entry.
  
• Scroll down to find your program (if it is listed). Click on "Program" to check if  your course ID has been entered, whether your progam has been listed or is shown as "Not Specified".
  
• Check whether there is an equivalent Academic Program course title in the column to the right of your course ID. If there is a course listed, then your course is equivalent to a CPHR Academic Program course.
  If there is an equivalent CPHR AP course listed to the right of your course ID and another item number is listed in the next column to the right, then the course matching that item number is also required for the equivalence.
  Once you find your course, you may then click on the Item # (last column) to see the assessment in details with labels.
  If it is marked "None" to the right of your course ID, then your course has been previously assessed as not equivalent to any Academic Program course.
• If you cannot find the course you took on the list below, you can request that it be assessed. You will be requested to provide the detailed course outline including the learning objectives or topics for each session, the required textbook readings and types of assignments, or the link to where these items can be found.
• Once you have determined which, if any, of your courses have been previously assessed as equivalent, you may return to the PLAR registration page to submit your application. You will be provided with your fee statement for approval and payment prior to beginning your assessment.
