One Membership. Limitless Benefits.
LET US HELP YOU GET AND KEEP YOUR HR CERTIFICATION! Mountain States Employers Council and HRCI have partnered to offer recertification credits for our members’ employees who hold PHR, SPHR, GPHR, or California certifications from HRCI. Earn up to 12 Recertification Credits per renewal cycle* Three credits per full year of MSEC membership (to a maximum of 9 credit hours) under the membership category and an additional 3 Business credits (1 per year for SPHR) under the continuing education category. If your HRCI credential does not require Business credit, the credit type will default to HR General Credit. It is easy to receive HRCI recertification credits; here’s how: Each employee must be listed in the MSEC database with their certification (PHR, SPHR, etc.) and member email address. Quarterly, they will receive an email from MSEC awarding them a credit. Employees will begin receiving recertification credit emails at the beginning of the first calendar quarter—i.e., January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1—after they have been added to MSEC’s database. To add employees to MSEC’s database, the member’s main MSEC contact must send an email with a list of credentialed employees, the certification they hold, and their work email address to CensusData@msec.org with the subject line “HRCI.” For example: Chris Madden, PHR, cmadden@abcco.com Additional benefits members receive when obtaining or renewing their HRCI certifications include: • Availability of a Recertification HRCI Concierge to quickly resolve questions and issues. • $50 discount off the Associate Professional in Human Resource™ (aPHR™), Professional in Human Resources (PHR®), Professional in Human Resources – California® (PHRca®), Senior Professional in Human Resources® (SPHR®) or Global Professional in Human Resources® (GPHR®) exam fee. MSEC is committed to supporting our members’ career development and ongoing education choices. We continue to be a preferred provider of classes that have been pre-certified for recertification credit for the various designations offered by both HRCI and the Society for Human Resource Management, SHRM.
