- 2015 SHRM Preferred Provider Program
![](http://www.wishrm.org/proxy/images/logo/SHRM_Recertification_Provider_CP-SCP_Seal_2016_web.png)
New this year! SHRM has established the SHRM Preferred Provider Program to give organizations that offer education, training and/or other HR-related Competency and Knowledge programming the opportunity to award PDCs, without pre-approval by SHRM, during a 2-year period.
Key benefits to being a SHRM Preferred Provider include being able to:
›› Award PDCs for individual HR programs, without pre-approval from SHRM, during a 2-year SHRM Preferred
Provider status period.
›› Publicize itself as a SHRM Preferred Provider.
›› Use the SHRM Preferred Provider seal on materials.
›› Include program offerings in a searchable database.
›› Be listed in a directory of SHRM Preferred Providers.
In addition, being identified as a SHRM Preferred Provider eliminates the guesswork for credential holders, who will know by your status that your program qualifies for recertification credits. Qualified activities may include conferences, college/university courses, seminars, videoconferences, webcasts, audiocasts, podcasts, e-learning,
and other programs.
