    HRCI and PDCs
    Recertification Credits for HR Professionals - MRA supports recertification credits for both HRCI and SHRM certifications through our training programs, conferences, and special events. MRA is an Approved Provider for the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) and a Preferred Provider for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Information about HR and business credits toward PHR and SPHR recertification, and credits toward SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP certification, can be found in individual program descriptions on MRA's website.

    Some of MRA’s training is pre-approved for HRCI and PDC credits. If you have taken a training that has been pre-approved and need the HR recertification codes, this information will be found on the certificate received after completing the training. Please visit your Learning Dashboard to locate the certificates under your Learning Activities.

  • Registrations

    Registrations

    Please use our training catalog at learn.mranet.org to register. Payment is due at the time of registration. If you need assistance, please contact MRA Registrations at registrations@mranet.org or 262.696.3319. We also have helpful documents in the Training Catalog section above to explain how to navigate our catalog.

    To ensure maximum effectiveness and participation, most programs have a minimum and maximum capacity. Reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. If the program is full, the participant will be placed on the waitlist and the confirmation email they receive will indicate they are on the waitlist. If we can include the participants in the program, they will receive another email indicating that they have been accepted into the program.

    Participants who are registered to attend their program as a live online training are expected to have their cameras and microphones on to be able to fully participate in class. If they do not have a camera or microphone, they may not receive credit for their attendance.
