NAE has been recognized by the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) and Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) to offer recertification credit. In order to remain compliant, HR certified professionals are required to continually take classes and earn a certain number of credits to meet specific requirements for either the SHRM or HRCI certificates.

We have you covered as we frequently hold webinars and in-person training courses to help you and your team earn the required credits. Most NAE trainings and webinars that are open to the public are eligible for HRCI & SHRM recertification credit.

While HR professionals in our community can take these offered trainings without being a member of NAE, membership does come with a lot of perks!
