GPHR Certificate

• HR Certification Institute (HRCI) developed the GPHR certification exam and administers the official computer based test, which is a comprehensive test based on multi-choice questions (MCQs).

• HRCI test items are not available to SHRM or other organizations. SHRM Global Learning System includes information about how the components of the test are weighted. SHRM developed its own questions based on the HRCI test specifications. Sample questions may be similar to the certification exam but they are not exact match.

• While no single course of study guarantees success on the GPHR certification exam, hundreds of International HR Practitioners used the SHRM Global Learning System to effectively prepare for the GPHR certification exam.
