PART B – EXPLANATION OF IPMA-EX RECERTIFICATION

IPMA-Canada requires IPMA-EX designated individuals every three years to provide an updated resume, job descriptions and organization charts for positions held during the recertification period. IPMA-EX must currently or within the past 12 months hold the position of Director, Executive Director, or Vice President with the responsibility of HR management including the full suite of HR services or specialized HR services, and is responsible for direct or indirect supervision of a minimum of five HR professionals. Please note, IPMA-Canada reserves the right to request additional information should the Certification Committee feel it is necessary to provide a complete review of the recertification application.

PART B – EXPLANATION OF RECERTIFICATION

IPMA-Canada has identified several key areas of human resources activity through which certification may be maintained. Given the rapidly changing environment of human resource management, continued personal professional development is essential. To retain the IPMA-CP, and IPMA-ACP designations, an individual must accumulate 50 points every three years, in the professional competency areas identified under the Certification Program, and submit a completed Application for Recertification Form. You may begin earning points toward recertification immediately upon receiving your initial IPMA-CP/IPMA-ACP designation, and after subsequent recertification processes. Points can only be used for the review process being requested (i.e. previous 3 year period) and cannot be carried over for a future recertification. Please note, IPMA-Canada reserves the right to request additional information should the Certification Committee feel it is necessary to provide a complete review of the recertification application.

PART C – EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Continuous employment in a direct human resource capacity since your initial certification or most recent recertification is mandatory – 20 points awarded if you meet this requirement.

Note: You must also be currently employed in the field of Human Resources.
