Compared with certificate programs or diploma, certification has three main advantages:

• requires specific work experience, competency and education
• requires recertification, which makes sure that you stay current in the HR profession through continuing education
• allows you to put the credentials after your name

Global certification is meant to demonstrate that a particular professional, regardless of where they are in the world, they understand general best practices which are standard across the world. Think of it as ISO standards which organizations all across the world seek to meet. In the past 40+ years, hundreds of professionals from Africa have pursued and benefited from HRCI credentials. 

To make the certification more affordable, we allow interested candidates to make payments in installments. The first installment must be 50% of the total amount, and the remaining amount should be completed before the candidate can sit for the exam.

The exams are taken physically at an approved Pearson VUE center in Dar es Salaam. More details will be shared with those who enroll.
