Credits

Continuing Education Units (CEU)
The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized unit of measure used to recognize participation in organized continuing education activities operated in accordance with established criteria. One CEU is equivalent of 10 hours of instruction. WorldatWork certification preparation courses meet the accepted guidelines for institutions that grant the CEU. For more information, please contact the WorldatWork certification department toll-free at 877/951-9191.

HR Certification Institute Recertification Credit
Many WorldatWork traditional classroom events, conferences and live webinars have been pre-approved for recertification credit hours through the HR Certification Institute (HRCI). See course descriptions for hours of credit. Most courses and live events earn credit in the “Specified-General” category, although courses T2 and B3A earn credit in the “Specified-Business Management and Strategy” category. Course GR7 earns credit in the “Specified-International” category. To obtain a program ID number, check the HRCI sign at the WorldatWork table at your course or the WorldatWork booth at Conference. For pre-approved live webinars or events you already attended and did not obtain the program ID number, you may request a certificate of completion by sending an email to certification@worldatworksociety.org after you have attended an approved event.

Please Note: Blended Learning courses, self-paced e-learning courses, sponsored webinars, webinar playbacks and other self-study products are not pre-approved for HRCI recertification credit. WorldatWork educational events that have not been pre-approved will usually still earn HR Certification Institute recertification credit, subject to acceptance by HRCI. To take credit for an event that has not been pre-approved, simply enter the event manually on your HRCI recertification application using the same hours as the live approved events. General certificates of completion without an HRCI program ID number are available upon request to registered attendees to document participation in events that are not pre-approved. For more information, please contact Customer Relationship Services.  For more information on HRCI certification or recertification, please visit the HRCI home page.
