Certification Exams
Opportunities to sit for/re-take a Certification Exam are available at NAHRO National Conferences (Washington Conference, Summer Conference and National Conference & Exhibition) with other opportunites at other locations throughout the year. Interested candidates must register in advance for the exam, indicating which exam they would like to take and at what location. There is a $200 fee for Certification Exams for NAHRO Members, $300 fee for non-members.
NAHRO sends exam results only to the individual participant unless authorized by that participant to also send the result to the employer or other person(s). To authorize that action by NAHRO, the individual registrant must complete and sign an Exam Authorization Release Form and return it to NAHRO.
