SHRM Recertification and DISC

How can Extended DISC help your SHRM recertification?

Has the deadline rolled around again for submitting your 60 SHRM recertification units? The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) requires recertification every 3 years. Some SHRM competency-based certifications require annual submission.

Extended DISC has options to help you reach your recertification goals. In addition, we can help build your career toolbox by becoming a certified DISC trainer. Even more importantly, we can help your interactions with others to become more successful; in essence, practicing what we teach.

What is SHRM recertification?

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is the largest HR society with 300,000 members globally. It represents and supports HR professionals and the practice of human resource management. There are also the competency-based SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) certifications for HR professionals. These specialty credentials are a recognition of competency-based professional development accomplished in a focused field of practice.

The recertification process is designed to keep knowledge relevant and expand skills and experiences in human resource practices.
