Human Resource Information Professional Certification
Exam Overview

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. All questions are randomly placed throughout the examination and do not follow the blueprint outline. Computer-based testing (CBT) is the standard method of administration for HRIP examinations. It is a method of delivery of exams by computer at a proctored test site.

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

Examination Blueprint
The HRIP examination is developed based on the examination blueprint. The blueprint details the percentages of questions contained in each Domain. Please refer to the Examination Blueprint for more details.
