Who is eligible to take the PHR exam?
Anyone who has at least two years of relevant, high-level experience in managing human resources may take the exam. These two years do not have to be consecutive, and they do not necessarily have to be recent, although candidates with recent HR experience generally do better on the exam than those whose experience is dated. If you are unsure whether your HR experience qualifies, there is a list of approved job titles you may consult in order to be sure. Your experience must include supervising or original or creative work utilizing advanced HR skills, or both.
