National Recertification Log

For a pdf copy of the National Recertification Log, please click here.

The Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation is a nationally recognized level of achievement signifying a practitioner meets specific professional criteria, keeps current in the field, and adheres to a professional Code of Ethics. It represents both an achievement and a responsibility for the individual practitioner. It also reflects a conviction that the professional practice of human resources management can safeguard the interests of the employer, employees and the general public.

Recertification represents your commitment to continuous learning in a profession impacted by economic, social, business and legislative changes.

Reporting Professional Development Activities:

When recording professional development activities in this log, please remember they should be related to the Canadian Human Resource Professional's Capability Profile, developed by CCHRA. The Profile lists the eight Required Professional Capabilities (RPCs) and groups them in these functional areas: Professional Practice in Human Resources; Organization Effectiveness; Staffing; Employee and Labour Relations; Total Compensation; Organizational Learning, Development and Training; Workplace Health and Safety; and Human Resources Information Management.

Please note: In order to be a strategic partner in an organization, a degree of general (or “non-HR”) business knowledge is essential. As such, when professional development activities are evaluated on this log, the applicability of the activity to an HR professional's role in the business community will be taken into consideration. If there is not a clear line connecting the professional development activity to one or more RPCs, it is the responsibility of the HR professional to indicate on the log how this activity has contributed to his/her professional development.

In addition, specific recertification activities can only be counted once on the log. If a specific activity is listed more than once – points will only be awarded the first time it is listed, assuming it is eligible.
