Human Resource Certification is the symbol of professional achievement. Beyond experience and education, the PHR or SPHR designation signifies that you have mastered the HR body of knowledge. The Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI) maintains the nationally recognized standards set by individuals working in the profession.

Certification exams are administered using computer based testing (CBT) during two periods in the months of May and June and again in December and January, in major cities around the United States. SAHRA will be forming study groups preparing for the Spring PHR and SPHR certification exams. SAHRA will kick off study group sessions to prepare for the next PHR and SPHR certification exam window on in January 2010. Part of SAHRA's mission is to support and promote the increased professional development of our members. SAHRA does this through Chapter sponsored study groups.

SAHRA, in association with the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM®), will offer a study group for human resources professionals utilizing the study materials of the SHRM® Learning System.

The Spring 2010 Testing Window is:  May 1 - June 30, 2010
