Requirements

CPHR New Brunswick requires all designation holders to complete 60 CPD Hours within a rolling three-year cycle, with a minimum of 10 hours annually.

Members must also successfully complete the Ethics Exam once every three years.

CPD activities must link to a minimum of three competency areas of the CPHR Competency Framework. These include HR-specific areas such as Total Rewards, Learning and Development, Workforce Planning, HR Technology, Innovation, Organizational Change, Labour and Employee Relations, Health and Wellness, and Inclusion and Diversity, as well as general competencies such as Ethical Practice, Continuous Learning, Leadership, Business Acumen, and Communication.

Accreditation & Course Eligibility

CPHR NB does not require CPD activities to be pre-approved. Activities that have not been pre-approved may still qualify if they contribute to professional development and enhance a member’s abilities as an HR practitioner.

Acceptable CPD activities may include:

  • University or college courses
  • Seminars, workshops, webinars, or conferences (online or in-person)
  • Research and publications
  • Leadership or governance roles
  • Mentoring, coaching, or teaching (credit for the first occurrence only)
  • New work projects

Internal company training on procedures or processes does not qualify for CPD hours.

Reporting, Record-Keeping & Auditing

Members must submit CPD hours annually on a calendar-year basis, with submissions due by January 31 of the following year. New designation holders are exempt from reporting CPD hours in the year they are certified.

Members are responsible for tracking their CPD activities and maintaining supporting documentation. Supporting documents may include:

  • Program or course descriptions
  • Certificates of completion
  • Payment receipts
  • Reports or outcomes

CPHR NB conducts random audits, with up to 3% of CPD filings audited annually. Members selected for audit must provide supporting materials within 30 days. Supporting documentation must be retained for at least 36 months after the CPD activity. Failure to provide adequate documentation may result in loss of the designation.
