Certification
Central Iowa SHRM is recognized by SHRM to offer Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP.

Changes to HRCI Re-certification Authorization
The HR Certification Institution (HRCI) has made changes that will affect how we acknowledge HRCI credit for our programming. The process to obtain preauthorized credits through HRCI has become very complex and cumbersome. Therefore, Central Iowa SHRM is no longer able to offer preauthorization for HRCI credits. If you hold the HRCI credentials, you will be able to use the information provided from Central Iowa SHRM educational programs to enter these continuing education credits into the HRCI portal. While this is not an ideal way to manage your HRCI recertification, the process to add the individual continuing education credits is very seamless. To learn more about entering the HRCI self-reported activities, please click here.
Instructions for HRCI Credit
Please note, for those of you who are SHRM certified, we are able to continue preauthorizing SHRM recertification credits.
