CERTIFIED HUMAN RESOURCE PROFESSIONAL (CHRP)

Course Overview

The Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP) course is designed to equip individuals with the necessary competencies and knowledge required by human resource professionals in both public and private sectors. The CHRP course is mandated by law for individuals looking to start or are already practicing HR professionals.
