Flexibility to Earn Professional Development Credits
"You can obtain PDCs in a number of ways. You can do online learning, projects within your organization, read books, attend conferences and other types of meetings. The flexibility to earn PDCs in different ways is especially helpful as a professional who travels frequently for work and has a demanding schedule."

Locate activities and track PDCs whenever and wherever you are using the SHRM certification app. Search “SHRM Certification” in the App Store or the Google Play Store
Demonstrated Learning
"There have been many times where I've thought about the work that I've done towards recertification and how it has helped me in my career. Most notably, the time that I have spent becoming a certified executive coach, all of that went towards my SHRM recertification and has helped me support leaders from a coaching perspective as a trusted advisor."
SHRM Memberships and Chapter Membership Fit Together Perfectly
"My first introduction to SHRM was in 1994 when I graduated from college and I learned about the local chapter in Montgomery County, Maryland, and joined as soon as I finished school in order to help develop myself in the field."
575 SHRM chapters across the country offer local in-person and virtual educational opportunities.
"It feels great to know that we have something like SHRM for our profession. Early on in my career, there probably wasn't a day that went by that I didn't visit the SHRM website. It has become, over time, a mainstay for me. I can't imagine being in this field and not having SHRM as a support. There is a wealth of information and resources available to give you the education you need to recertify."
SHRM members have unlimited access to how-to guides, interactive tools, templates, legal and compliance guidance, and resource spotlights on specialized workplace topics.
"SHRM certification is important in a field like HR so that people understand that this is not a job that just anybody can do. There are things that you need to learn and know and keep up with in the industry. Things you need to think about as you are applying your HR knowledge to solve business problems. The SHRM recertification process keeps you focused on that."
