How can I show my certificate/proof of course completion?
Upon completing the HR Certification Courses, you will receive a digital badge and an e-certificate. You can download both e-documents and showcase them on your website, or share them with colleagues, managers, and, in case you’re in a recruiting position, new HR candidates.
How can my employers and/or managers verify my certification status?
There are two ways you can confirm your certification status. The first is with the e-certificate and digital badge that you will receive upon completion of the course, and the second being via the certification portal. Each online certificate comes with a verification link that redirects to HR University, where managers and/or potential employers can verify your certification status.
Are HR certifications worth it?
HR certifications are worth it because the HR industry is always evolving, meaning that workers are required to keep up with the latest changes in technologies and policy. Most importantly, HR certifications can help a person increase their salary by an average of 17%.

In HR you need to be knowledgeable in human resources management and leadership training. HR University has both of these options available and is a great way to start your career as an HR professional. These HR certifications will not only increase your salary but also provide you with opportunities outside of just being an employee within this field.
