Most Human Resources Professionals in Canada require Professional Development credits to maintain their professional designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.
Requirements
CPHR Nova Scotia requires all designation holders to complete 60 CPD Hours within a rolling three-year cycle, with a minimum of 10 hours annually.
Within each three-year cycle, CPD activities must link to a minimum of three competency areas from the CPHR Competency Framework. These competencies cover both HR-specific areas (such as Total Rewards, Learning and Development, Workforce Planning, HR Technology, Organizational Change, Labour and Employee Relations, Health and Wellness, and Inclusion and Diversity) and general competencies (such as Ethical Practice, Continuous Learning, Leadership, Business Acumen, and Communication).
Members must also complete at least 3 hours of ethics training within each three-year period.
Accreditation & Course Eligibility
CPHR Nova Scotia 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 build competencies under the CPHR Framework.
Acceptable CPD activities may include:
Internal company training on procedures or processes does not qualify for CPD credit.
Reporting, Record-Keeping & Auditing
Members must submit CPD hours annually on a calendar-year basis, with submissions due by January 15 of the following year.
Each CPD activity must be listed separately with the completion date, hours earned, and sufficient detail to demonstrate eligibility. Activities spanning multiple years must be entered separately for each year.
Supporting documentation must be retained for five years and may include:
CPHR Nova Scotia randomly audits CPD submissions each year. Members selected for audit must provide supporting documents within 30 days. Failure to provide sufficient documentation may result in loss of the designation.
