Fleming's Certificate and the CHRP™ Designation

To obtain the Certificate, Fleming requires a passing grade in every course. However, to qualify to write the CHRP Knowledge Exam™, the passing of which is mandatory to attain the CHRP designation, an overall average of at least 70 percent must be attained in the nine required courses, with no mark less than 65 percent.

In Ontario the requirements for the CHRP designation are:

• HRPA membership in good standing
• Successful completion of the prescribed coursework requirement
• Successful completion of the CHRP Knowledge Exam and CHRP Employment Law exam
• Successful completion of the Job Ready Program

Members with the CHRP designation must maintain their membership in HRPA and must meet the ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirement in order to maintain the designation
