**Please note:  The HRIP Practice and Published Exams are suspended January through March 2019 as we migrate to a new test hosting vendor.  We apologize for any inconvenience.**

The Human Resource Information Professional (HRIP) Certification examination is comprised of multiple-choice questions. (The Published Exam contains approximately 75 questions.) The multiple choice format is considered the most effective for use in standardized tests. Computer-based testing (CBT) is the standard method of administration for HRIP examinations and is the method of delivery at Kryterion Testing Centers and at IHRIM hosted exams.

The allotted time to complete the published exam is ninety (90) minutes. It may take some credential candidates less than the allotted time to complete the examination.

The HRIP examination is developed based on the examination blueprint. The blueprint details the percentages of questions contained in each Domain.

IHRIM offers three delivery methods to accommodate individuals (as well as groups) to take the exam, including conveniently located testing centers around the world, live proctoring that allows candidates to take the exam wherever and whenever is most convenient, and via client hosted locations.

Test Exam Centers:

First you must purchase the exam from IHRIM’s online store and then you will be sent a voucher code and instructions to register for the exam.

When registering for an exam, you will have access to a locator that allows you to find a center and time that is convenient for you. Look for preferred location by country, province/state, city or by postal code and a list of available testing centers will be displayed. Choose the facility you prefer and, once selected, the date and time of the exam.

Online Proctored Exam:

First you must purchase the exam from IHRIM’s online store and then you will be sent a voucher code and instructions to register for the exam.

Candidates wishing to take the exam via webcam will be required to meet the technical specifications for compatibility and comply with all online testing security requirements.

Hosted Exams:
Organizations who would like to have the HRIP exam administered at their company location can apply by contacting Laurie Carantit at lcarantit@ihrim.org.
