THE ROAD TO SHRM RECERTIFICATION

Maintain Your Credential The SHRM recertifi cation process is about more than just renewing your credential. It’s a way to step up your game and take your professional expertise to the next level. There are two ways to recertify:

1. Earn 60 professional development credits (PDCs) within your three-year recertifi cation period OR

2. Retake the SHRM certifi cation exam.

» You must complete one of these options by your recertifi cation end date (last day of your birth month).

Professional development is easier with SHRM membership. Join today to earn professional development credits and save money!
