As a certified SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP, your online profile can be used to:
- Track your PDCs

- Apply to retake the exam
- Review the certification handbook
Entering Your Professional Development Credits
Step 1: Log on to portal.shrmcertification.org and enter your e-mail address and password.
Step 2: Click on "Add PDCs" and then choose the appropriate PDC category:
| Advance Your Education |
Advance Your Organization |
Advance Your Profession |
Input the Activity ID (if one is provided), click "Search," and view the populated activity details. Confirm that information. Click "Submit" to save the PDCs record.
|
An Activity ID may not be applicable in these categories, in these cases manually input the requested information |
For detailed information on items eligible for PDC visit the online SHRM Recertification Handbook at:
www.shrm.org/documents/recertification%20handbook_final.pdf
Step 3: After at least 60 PDCs have been logged you may submit your application for consideration. Click on the "Apply for Recertification" button.
(Note: This link will be available one year into your 3 year recertification period.)
Best Practices:
- Record your activities on your mobile device or the website as you complete them.
- Track all professional development events, even beyond the 60 PDC requirement.
Recertification Time Frame
Once your recertification application is complete and has been approved, your next 3-year recertification period will begin from your
existing end date. If you complete your recertification cycle early, your end date will not change, and any unused or subsequent activities
completed within your current certification period cannot be carried over to the next.
Example:
| Recertification Application Fees |
| SHRM Members = $100 USD |
Non-members = $150 USD |
