The Human Resource Information Professional Certification exam is designed to assess the knowledge and competencies of professionals in the HR technology field. Passing the exam indicates a demonstrated comprehensive understanding and proficiency of the defined body of knowledge in HR information management.

Passing the exam is only one part of the certification process. The recertification requirements ensure that the HR technology professional is keeping abreast of changes in the field.

In order to maintain certification, a total of 60 recertification credit hours are required during the 3 year period starting from the date the certification is granted.
