Can I get ALL of the credits I need to completely recertify my PHR, SPHR, PHRi, SPHRi, GPHR, aPHR, aPHRi or PHRca using this package?

HRCI requires 60 recertification credits (hours) every 3 years.  If you hold an aPHR, PHR or PHRi, you may take any course approved for HRCI credit.  If you hold an SPHR or SPHRi, you must accrue at least 15 hours of Business/Strategic credit as part of your 60 credits.  15 Business credits are included in our package.  PHRca holders must accrue 15 California credits as part of your 60 credits, and GPHR holders must accrue 15 Global credits.  We now have 15 CA credits as well as 15 Global credits in this package. Most courses are more than 1 credit each.  If you hold a PHR, SPHR, PHRi, SPHRi, GPHR, aPHR, aPHRi or PHRca, you can obtain ALL of your 60 credits with our package.

There is NO LIMIT on the number of e-Learning credits you may use toward your HRCI recertification.  All courses on this page are classified as e-Learning by HRCI.  To verify on the HRCI website that e-Learning is unlimited, click here, scroll to the bottom of the page.  See the section that says, "Calculating Credit for E-Learning/Online Courses.  You will earn one credit hour for every hour.  There is no credit-hour limit because e-Learning activities are interactive and typically assess the user at the end of the online session."

What about the new HRCI requirement that says I must take an Ethics course?

Our 1-hour/1-credit included "Business" Ethics" course meets this requirement.

Can I use this package for SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP recertification also?

Yes.  Tools 2 Succeed® is a SHRM Preferred Provider, and all courses on this page are also approved for SHRM PDCs.  SHRM changed their rules in 2018 so that YOU CAN NOW GET ALL 60 CREDITS with our "self-paced" e-learning courses.  Click here to verify our SHRM Preferred Provider status.

What do the courses look like?

The courses use many different learning tools.  Depending on the topic, the courses may feature video, audio, animations, and interactive questions. All courses feature a consistent, easy-to-navigate interface.  To try a free sample course, click here.

Are hours and credits the same thing?

Yes! 1 hour of actual time is equal to 1 credit.  If you need to obtain all 60 HRCI credits and/or 60 SHRM PDCs, it should you approximately 60 hours in total.  Most courses are 1.5 hours/1.5 credits.  A few are 1 hour/1 credit, and our Global and CA courses are multiple hours/multiple credits each.

Can I take just a few courses and receive individual credit for them?

Yes.  Each indicated individual course is pre-approved for HRCI credit and SHRM PDCs.  Once you successfully complete a course, you will receive the pre-approved HRCI and SHRM Activity Numbers for that course which you will enter into your recertification application to receive the specified number of credits.  You may take the courses in any order and at any time during your subscription.

Yes.  You may start and stop courses as often as you like and pick up from where you left off as long as you click the "Exit Course" button when exiting.

Can I take the course quizzes more than once?

Yes.  You may take the quizzes as many times as necessary.  You may also review the courses and lessons as many times as you wish during your subscription.

How long will it take to earn my HRCI and/or SHRM recertification credits?

Work at your own pace, anytime you wish during your subscription.  1 credit is equivalent to 1 hour of actual time.  If you need all 60 credits, you will need to spend approximately 60 hours of your time in the courses.

Do we need to purchase a separate subscription for each certified professional?

Yes.  Subscriptions are licensed to individuals.  Each HR professional must take his/her own courses and be able to provide individual certificates to HRCI and/or SHRM in the event of an audit. 

Do you offer discounts for multiple subscriptions?

How do I obtain HRCI recertification credit for my aPHR, aPHRi, PHR, PHRca, SPHR, GPHR, PHRi, SPHRi, SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP?

My certification expires in just a few weeks.  Is it realistic for me to obtain 60 credits?

Yes, but you must spend 60 hours on the courses and get started IMMEDIATELY!

Will the courses work on an iPad or other tablet or smart phones?

Yes.  You may access your courses from any PC or Mac as well as smart phones, iPads and most tablets. The current version of Firefox is recommended on all devices.   You may start a course on one computer and then resume from where you left off on another.

No.  Courses may not be repeated for HRCI or SHRM credit.  Once completed, each course will remain active for you to review for 10 days.  After 10 days, the course will be available on your Transcript tab only so that you can download a certificate at any time.

Can I use these courses to study for an HRCI or SHRM exam?

No.  These courses are not intended for initial certification.  Although the content is valuable for any employee in general and may help you with the exam, the courses do not cover all of the exam content.  They will provide you with recertification credit once you already have your aPHR, PHR, SPHR, PHRi, SPHRi, aPHRi, PHRca, GPHR, SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP.  For information on obtaining HRCI certification, please visit the HRCI website at www.hrci.org.  For information on obtaining SHRM certification, please visit the SHRM website at www.shrm.org. Once you pass your exam, we'll be happy to help you keep your certification!

Testimonials

I recently re-certified for my PHRca, and after researching several options, I am so glad to have chosen Tools 2 Succeed®. Sheryl Tuchman and the team have done a phenomenal job in creating the e-Learning program. The courses are well-presented and organized. Upon completion of each course, I was able to easily upload the completed courses directly to the HRCI website. Tools 2 Succeed will definitely be my go-to platform for any of my future recertifications. THANK YOU!!!
--Alexandra, PHRca, HR Senior Consultant, Rocklin, CA

"I just want to say that your product is fantastic.  After moving from Corporate HR to a small construction company, your e-Learning products have kept me current in HR trends and allowed for me to keep my PHR designation active.  The tools are sharp, user-friendly, interactive and worked well with my schedule.  Thank you, Tools 2 Succeed."
--Matt Van Ahn, PHR, Operations Manager, NMC Construction

"I cannot express enough how I have enjoyed the e-Learning courses.  They are very informative and enlightening on each subject matter.  You and your staff have done a wonderful job in designing a helpful tool for individuals like me.  I have been laid off for some time, and I have not been able to have the monetary means to attend seminars or get the training on the job, so I had to look for an alternative route.  These courses have relieved the stress of wondering how I was going to continue my recertification credits, and they also keep me up-to-date on Human Resource skills and knowledge."
--Margaret M. West, SHRM-CP, PHR

"I want to say that Tools 2 Succeed is by far the best way to gain recertification credits.  The package is affordable.  You can obtain your credits any time, day or night.  The great thing about Tools 2 Succeed - you can pause and return later.  It has made my PHR recertification process a lot more convenient.  Thanks for the program."
-- Dawn Roberts, PHR, International Literacy Association

"Just wanted to say a word of thanks.  I’m grateful I stumbled upon Tools 2 Succeed earlier this year.  Although I procrastinated until the very end, I was able to obtain the majority (57) of my credits thru Tools 2 Succeed and have recertified successfully (took six days for them to approve, versus the six weeks I was expecting)!  I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but I gained insight and knowledge through the courses, even those specifically in my specialty (talent acquisition and management)."
--Jennifer Fry, PHR, Recruiter, TalentFusion

"Sheryl, I just received my approved recertification e-mail.  I want to thank you for all of your assistance.  The Tools 2 Succeed program is amazing and very user-friendly!  I have recommended it to many of my peers across the country.  It truly made a difference in my recertification experience.  Thank you!"

"I recently recertified my PHR, and the only source that I used was the easy-to-follow HRCI Recertification e-Learning Package.  I would highly recommend this program for anyone planning on recertifying.  I accumulated all of my 60 credits from here in a short time of 6 weeks. I had a ton of questions about recertifying, and I was fortunate to have come across Sheryl Tuchman who patiently answered all my questions.  I have never seen someone as prompt as her."
-- Saba Raihan, PHR

--Maureen A. McCormick, SPHR, HR Director, Mellon Certified Restoration

"I just learned that my HRCI recertification was approved.  What a relief!  Your online courses were instrumental in making that happen.  I appreciate that there are so many subjects to choose from.  They were all well-structured, informative and easy to follow. For me, and I'm sure for anyone else who works 40+ hours per week, the best thing about the courses is that I didn't have to miss work and was able to complete them on my own schedule.  Tools 2 Succeed gets my highest recommendation!"
--Donna Stark, SPHR, Director of HR, Fusion Solutions, Inc.

"I just wanted to take a moment to say how pleased I was to be able to recertify my SPHR with HRCI by utilizing the Tools 2 Succeed modules.  I really think your program is the best value for recertification and saves the time and expense of having to go to numerous seminars or workshops in order to satisfy the requirements for recertification. And it can be done from the surroundings of home or office.  I received my notification today that my recertification application was approved by HRCI, so I wanted to say 'thank you.'  I look forward to using your program again."

"I was thrilled to be able to use the Tools 2 Succeed e-Learning package to recertify my PHR.  Sheryl was wonderful to work with when I needed assistance, and I was able to so conveniently and easily work on my e-Learning hours whenever I wanted to on my laptop at home or in the office.  I had no problem whatsoever in getting recertified, and half my credits came from Tools 2 Succeed.  I believe this is the most cost-effective and user-friendly way to recertify."
-- Suzanne Nelson, PHR, Los Angeles

"My HRCI Recertification was the best adult style learning experience I have ever had.  The website is user friendly and the modules were clear and concise. Truly a valuable learning experience that I can use in my role as an HR Professional in so many ways!  Thank you, Tools 2 Succeed!
--Lorei, PHR, New Jersey

The e-Learning programs were very easy to use, informative and affordable.  Due to time limitations, I had to renew my PHR recertification in a month and a half, and this was the only online program that allowed me to do so.  I am also using it again to renew for the following three years.  It is user-friendly and can be completed at your own pace.  I just would like to thank Sheryl Tuchman for her cooperation, professionalism and for taking the time to walk me through the program.  I would highly recommend this program!"
--Suzie Elmankabadi, PHR, NYA
