Choosing an Exam Level
A minimum of two years of exempt-level (professional) HR work experience is required to take the PHR or SPHR exam. However, HRCI strongly recommends that PHR candidates have two to four years and SPHR candidates six to eight years of professional HR experience.

Registering for an Exam
The next testing period is May 1-June 30, 2008. To avoid a late fee, guidelines will be published for both 2008 testing windows. For information on exam time schedules and how to register, visit www.hrci.org.
