Experience Requirements: Executive Level

To be eligible for certification in the executive category, you must be the HR director or its equivalent for your organization and have at least 10 years of HR managerial experience, including 3 years of HR managerial experience in the public sector. Your experience must be at the managerial level and be considered exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). If you qualify, the examination will be waived.

*The designation awarded, IPMA-CP is the same as the Certified Professional. The requirements to become certified are the only difference.
