To be eligible for this exam, candidates must have two years of professional level experience in the Human Resources. The candidate’s employment experience must match that of the exempt-level position codes.  The candidate is expected to have used 51% of the daily activities on the human resource related activities. Supporting documentation is also required outlining and supporting this claim. Students and recent graduates may register in advance by paying the initial registration fee of $120 and the balance after they must have graduated and obtained the two years exempt professional experience.

Eligible candidates are given Authorization To Test (ATT) two to three weeks after PES receives the application. Candidates are to download the ATT letters and provide email addresses with which their HRCI ID numbers and the confirmation of applications will be sent.
