Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations
Working for you

The Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations (CCHRA) is a collaborative effort of human resources associations from across Canada. The CCHRA represents more than 33,000 professionals including over 17,000 Certified Human Resources Professionals (CHRP’s).

The CCHRA’s mission is to be the national voice on the enhancement and promotion of the human resources profession across Canada and internationally through established and credible designations. In less than 15 years the CHRP designation has become the symbol of excellence in human resources management.

IMPORTANT CHANGE- NEW DEGREE REQUIREMENT AS OF JANUARY 1, 2011

As of January 1, 2011, CHRP Candidates – those who have passed the National Knowledge Exam™ (NKE) - will require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college, CEGEP or university in order to register for the National Professional Practice Assessment™ (NPPA) and qualify for the CHRP designation.
