The International Human Resources Certification has been established by the International Human Resource Institute to recognize Human Resources professionals who have met a level of experience and training. The IHRP exam focuses on operational HR concerns, while the IHRSP exam addresses the more strategic HR issues.

Upon successful completion of the exams, qualified professionals are granted certification certificates attesting that that the standards set by the International Human Resource Institute have been met and the professionals are entitled to the IHRP or IHRSP designation.

The IHRP and the IHRSP designations demonstrate that the HR professional has mastered the HR body of knowledge and has accepted the personal challenge to stay informed of new developments in the HR field. To be successful, HR professionals must be seen as a major player in contributing to the development and accomplishment of the organization¡¯s strategic goals.

To be eligible for either examination, candidates must have an undergraduate degree, as well as a minimum of two years of exempt-level HR work experience as a practitioner, educator, researcher or consultant. The International Human Resource Institute highly recommends that candidates taking the IHRP exam have four years of exempt-level HR work experience, and those candidates taking the IHRSP exam have a minimum of eight years of exempt-level HR work experience.
