Updates to Validation of Experience (VOE) Educational and Experience Requirements
January 29, 2024
As the CPHR profession advances across Canada and CPHRs take on more strategic roles, it is important that our professional requirements reflect the changing reality. As is done every few years, CPHR Canada has recently reviewed the Validation of Experience and Educational Requirements, and their recommended updates are being adopted across all provincial associations.
We have updated the pathways that members can follow to become a CPHR regarding education and experience needed. The new pathways to becoming a CPHR are more inclusive and include more opportunities for earning the designation. These changes are effective immediately.
The updated education and experience lengths are as follows:

The other VOE requirements remain the same, including: being a member in good standing with CPHR Nova Scotia, required experience must be 51% HR or more and within the ten (10) years prior to the date of the VOE application, able to demonstrate a minimum of 8 examples aligned to the HR competencies of work experience primarily at the Advisory HR level using the STAR method and able to abide by the CPHR Nova Scotia’s Code of Ethics & Rules of Professional Conduct.
“Our designation is not only a mark of excellence but also a reflection of the changing needs and expectations of the profession,” says our CEO, Nick Beynon. “We are committed to updating the requirements periodically to keep pace with the latest trends and best practices. Our goal is to support and empower CPHRs and candidates to achieve their full potential.”
We believe that through these updated requirements, members have more opportunities to demonstrate the confidence that they have the skills, knowledge, and experience to meet the required CPHR competencies.
