Certified Human Resources Professional or CHRP is a designation achieved by human resources professionals in Canada. The designation is granted provincially, so the path to certification may vary by province. In general it requires three years of professional experience, a Bachelor's degree, and passing the National Knowledge Exam (NKE) which tests competency in various HR topics such as recruitment, industrial relations, and organizational behaviour.^[1]

Established in 1994, the Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations (CCHRA) is a collaborative effort of human resources associations in Canada.^[2]

The CCHRA is the national voice on the enhancement and promotion of the profession across Canada, through established and credible designations, collaborating on national issues related to the profession, leading federal government relations, and proactively positioning the national human resources agenda at the international level.^[3]

Certification requirements include writing the National Knowledge Exam. Some jurisdictions require that a National Professional Practice Assessment is written, after completing a recommended two to three years of work experience. Exam writers must also satisfy any requirements of their provincial HR association. As of January 1, 2011 all provincial associations will require an undergraduate degree prior to exam registration. Designation holders must re-certify every three years in order to keep the designation valid.

As of October 2016, the CHRP designation has been rebranded as the CPHR (Chartered Professional in Human Resources). The CCHRA felt this was the most effective route to increasing our visibility, positioning our profession as strategic business advisors and opening more career options for designates. CPHR Canada would have proceeded with this alignment under the CHRP banner, but the Human Resources Professional Association (HRPA) of Ontario opted to create a three-tiered designation for their province and they defined CHRP, which was shared across the country, as their entry-level designation. This meant that the rest of Canada was required to either accept the three-tiered model, or make this change.^[4]

The following exam prep resources are available for individuals looking to obtain their CHRP designation by writing the NKE and NPPA exams:
