COVID-19 and Certification Exams

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: (Updated December 4, 2023)

We are experiencing unprecedented times across the globe, and IBHRE hopes that you and your families are safe. IBHRE is actively monitoring the worldwide Coronavirus (COVID-19) threat to allow on-going communication with regard to potential impacts on exam candidates and subject matter experts who lend their time and talent to help advance IBHRE’s mission. 

Testing windows have been extended due to required decreased capacity at testing centers worldwide. Candidates will receive emailed instructions for scheduling exam appointments after eligibility confirmation notification from IBHRE is received. See table below for more information.
