SHRM Recertification
Requirements: The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) requires SHRM credential-holders to earn 60 professional development credits (PDCs) by the end of the credential-holder's birth month every three years. All PDCs must be reported within 60 days of the end of the recertification period. Details about various credit categories with specific limits can be found in the Recertification Handbook. No credits may be carried over. For additional information, please see the recertification FAQ page on the Society for Human Resource Management website.
SHRM PDCs can be applied to the following accredited certifications:
- SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP®)
- SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP®)
Completing Your Recertification Requirements with PLI: PLI and SEC Institute's live seminars, live webcasts, and co-sponsored locations qualify as "instructor-led" credit. PLI's on-demand web programs, MP3s, and MP4s qualify as "self-paced" credit. There is no limit to the number of PDCs an SHRM professional can earn via instructor-led or self-paced continuing education activities, per 3-year recertification period.
