Do I need to sit in a schedule of classes? Is there any compulsory training before the assessment?

There is no mandatory training required before the assessment. However, for IHRP-CP or IHRP-SP candidate, you will need to indicate that you have fulfilled approximately 150 hours of HR-related education or training before applying. The 150 hours can be fulfilled through:

• HR-related tertiary education (i.e. HR degree/diploma); and/or any 
• HR-related courses, workshops, conference and seminars taken in the past.
• You may also consider taking IHRP Skills Badges Courses to help you fulfil your HR-related Education and Training hours.
• Please note that the preparatory courses are not counted into the training hours.
