The HR Certification Institute offers four certifications for HR professionals: PHR^® (Professional in Human Resources), SPHR^® (Senior Professional in Human Resources), GPHR^® (Global Professional in Human Resources)and PHR-CA^® and SPHR-CA^® (PHR and SPHR with state certification in California)

Certification is a voluntary action by a professional group to establish a system to grant recognition to professionals who have met a stated level of training and work experience. Certified individuals are entitled to make the public aware of their credentialed status, usually through the use of initials (i.e., PHR or SPHR) after their names.
