Cream of the HR crop

CCHRA announces the best NPPA and NKE performers

More than 1,650 HR professionals from across Canada wrote one of the Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations’ (CCHRA) two national exams in May 2006.

This represents an increase of more than 275 per cent from May 2004 when 430 wrote either the National Knowledge Exam (NKE) or The National Professional Practice Assessment (NPPA).

HR professionals must pass both exams to earn the CHRP designation.
