Keep your credential current and your development purposeful
Plan your professional development, organize your evidence and prepare for certification renewal.
Certification recognizes assessed professional competence at a point in your career. Continuing development helps you respond to changing practice, new technologies and evolving organizational needs. Renewing your AGILE-HRP credential demonstrates your commitment to meeting its continuing certification requirements.
Review the requirements that apply to your credential, document relevant development activities and submit your renewal information within the applicable period. Start early so you have time to resolve questions, locate evidence and address any outstanding requirements.
Make renewal part of your professional routine
A smooth renewal process starts with consistent professional development and clear documentation.
-
Understand your renewal requirements
Your certification record and current renewal guidance should identify the renewal date, applicable development requirements, submission process and any fees. Check these details before planning your renewal. Requirements may differ between credentials, so maintain a separate record for each certification you hold.
For questions about your reporting period, eligible activities or credit calculations, contact the certification team for guidance specific to your credential. Keep any written clarification with your renewal records.

Plan development that relates to your work
Meaningful professional development should build or refresh knowledge relevant to your certification and professional responsibilities. Choose activities with clear learning objectives and retain evidence of your participation and learning outcomes.
Examples of activities to review against the applicable guidance include structured courses, professional workshops, conferences, webinars and relevant academic study. Teaching, mentoring, research, publication and workplace learning may be considered where the credential rules permit them. Participation alone does not guarantee acceptance of an activity or the credits claimed.

Use continuing development to address real needs
Review changes in your professional field and reflect on the challenges you encounter at work. Identify specific learning priorities, choose suitable activities and consider how you will apply the learning. This approach makes your renewal record useful as a development plan as well as evidence of participation.

Frequently asked questions
Get quick answers to common questions about renewing your certification.
How many development hours or credits do I need?
Use the current requirements confirmed for your individual credential. Check the applicable credit total, reporting period and calculation method before planning your activities or submitting your renewal information.
Can I use learning from an external provider?
Review the activity against the applicable relevance, evidence and provider requirements. External participation is not automatically accepted; retain sufficient information to support its evaluation.
Can one activity support more than one certification?
This depends on the rules governing each credential. Request confirmation before applying the same activity to multiple records, and avoid duplicate claims within a single renewal submission.
Does submitting the form renew my credential immediately?
Submission begins the review process. Rely on the formal renewal decision and updated credential record to confirm your status.
What if my supporting certificate is missing?
Ask the activity provider for replacement evidence. If that is unavailable, contact AGILE-HRP to determine what alternative documentation may be considered.
