No. Writers sign a confidentiality agreement before writing the exam. However, we do have a few executive members who have written and passed the exam and they know what they are allowed to tell you without breaching this clause. Contact us and we'll put you in touch with the right person to talk to.

Yes. We recently had to start charing HST on all fees.

The payments are all processed at the same time - after we've received certain information from CCHRA (the body that is responsible for sitting the exams). Once we've received this information from them and processed the payment, you'll receive a letter in the mail. Attached to this letter will be your VISA receipt. If you paid by cheque, no receipt is issued unless specifically requested.

Six to eight weeks after the exam, you will receive a letter advising you of whether you passed or failed the exam. This letter will give you your score. In addition, if you failed the exam, it will let you know your score in the various sections so that you can concentrate your studies in the areas you need to improve before you re-write the exam.

You can courier your package to us. Do NOT send it to the post office box. People who have done so in the past have had the courier take it to the wrong address and it has been substantially delayed.

Phone us for our courier address - 506.855.4466.

If you cancel prior to the application deadline, you will just have to pay a small administrative fee.

If you cancel after the application deadline, you will be charged a $100 deferral fee which will allow you to write the exam at the next sitting.

The Professional Assessment Resources Center website states: The passing grade for the National Professional Practice Assessment is set at 70%. Candidates achieving a passing grade will receive their CHRP designation. Any candidates not achieving a passing grade must rewrite the National Professional Practice Assessment again at a future date. There is no limit to the number of times a candidate can take the National Professional Practice Assessment; however, all candidates must complete the National Professional Practice Assessment requirement within 5 years of successfully passing the knowledge assessment. The set exam fee will be charged for each attempt at writing the National Professional Practice Assessment.

Not at this time. Many of the other provincial associations charge a fee to recertify. However, we feel that you pay enough to first off, pass the exams, and then continue with your annual fees. So at the present time, we've decided not to charge a recertification fee.

During the January to March 2006 time period we will be transitioning to the National Renewal Form and either form may be used at that time. After March 2006, only the national form can be used for renewals and the current HRANB renewal form will be taken off the web site.

There are multiple ways that you can prepare for the first CHRP exam. Many students use their HR textbooks to study. Others take courses. Some form study groups. Others find the online course and the study guide the most effective means of making sure they know the material.

The time on maternity leave is simply added to the 3 year period, thus making it 3 years plus the period of maternity leave up to one year. To ensure that your CHRP designation is not revoked, please contact us at info@hranb.org to make arrangements ahead of time.
