China

IPMA-HR has partnered with the Training Center of the State Administration for Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA) in China to provide a human resources training and certification program. This program has been offered since 2005. The training program consists of the IPMA-HR Developing Competencies for HR Success plus HR technical modules on recruitment/selection, classification and compensation, employee and labor relations, performance management, and employee and organizational development. In addition to completing the training program, anyone seeking to become certified has to pass a 150 item multiple choice examination. The designation that is awarded is the IPMA Certified Professional (IPMA-CP). There are over 100 Chinese trainers who are qualified to offer the training program. The training materials and examination have been translated into Chinese. SAFEA manages the program in China. Contact Neil Reichenberg, IPMA-HR executive director at nreichenberg@ipma-hr.org for additional information on this program.
