What Is the CHRP Qualification?

CHRP is the professional certification for human resource practitioners in Kenya. It is set and examined by the Human Resource Management Professionals Examination Board (HRMPEB). The course equips you to plan, manage and improve the HR function in both the public and private sectors, from recruitment and training to rewards, employee relations and HR strategy.

Demand for certified HR professionals is rising. A recent government circular directs HR practitioners to take up the CHRP programme, and HRMPEB has recorded its highest ever exam candidature this year.
