Check credential →Understand the rule behind the number
HRCI recertification totals and specialty-credit requirements differ across aPHR, PHR, PHRca, SPHR, GPHR, and other credentials.
SPHR recertification includes a Business-credit subrequirement inside the overall HRCI credit total.
PHRca includes a California-specific recertification-credit component inside the total requirement.
HRCI currently requires certificants to fulfill one Ethics credit as part of the overall recertification-credit requirement, so the ethics component should be tracked separately even when the total credit target has been reached.
HRCI currently offers qualifying active certificants an optional carryover program for surplus recertification credits submitted beyond the normal required total, subject to the current HRCI carryover rules and limits.
