Recertification
Maintain your certification validity by renewing your credentials every 3 years through continuous learning or examination.

Stay Relevant. Stay Recognized. Stay Ahead.

At International Institute of Human Resource, we believe that learning never stops. To ensure that your certification remains current, credible, and aligned with evolving industry practices, all HR certifications must be recertified every 3 years. Recertification demonstrates your commitment to continuous professional development and ensures that your skills remain relevant in a dynamic and competitive HR landscape.

Why Recertification Matters

In today’s fast-changing business environment, HR professionals must continuously upgrade their knowledge and skills.

Recertification helps you:

  • Stay updated with the latest HR trends and practices
  • Maintain the credibility of your certification
  • Strengthen your professional profile
  • Enhance career growth opportunities
  • Demonstrate commitment to continuous learning

Recertification Options

To provide flexibility, IIHR offers two convenient pathways for recertification:


Option 1: Recertification Through Credits

Earn recertification by accumulating Professional Development Credits (PDCs) over a 3-year period.

You can earn credits through:

  • Attending HR training programs or workshops
  • Participating in webinars and seminars
  • Completing additional certification courses
  • Engaging in professional development activities

Once you meet the required credit criteria, your certification will be renewed without the need for an exam.


Option 2: Recertification Through Examination

If you prefer, you can renew your certification by appearing for a recertification exam.

This option is ideal for professionals who want to:

  • Revalidate their knowledge through assessment
  • Demonstrate updated competency
  • Reinforce their expertise in HR practices

The exam is designed to assess your understanding of current HR concepts and practical applications.


Recertification Timeline

  • Certification Validity: 3 Years
  • Recertification Required: Before expiry
  • Renewal Options: Credits or Examination

It is recommended to begin your recertification process well in advance to ensure uninterrupted certification status.
