China will adopt an international senior human resources (HR) certification program into its HR talents training system, so as to create more internationalized HR experts for the country.
An agreement on adopting the certification program was signed here Wednesday between the Chinese Training Center of the State Administration of Foreign Expert Affairs (SAFEA) and the United States International Public Management Association for Human Resources (IPMA-HR).
According to the agreement, the SAFEA Training Center will be the only agency in China to operate the IPMA-HR certification program across the country, including the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions.
Zhang Jianguo, deputy director of the SAFEA, said the adoption and promotion of the IPMA-HR certification program will greatly advance the development of China's human resources management, and help improve China's HR evaluation system and management level.
Neil Reichenberg, executive director of the IPMA-HR, said the core of the IPMA-HR certification program is a human resources competency model which contains 22 competencies focusing on the new and emerging roles for human resource professionals.
Reichenberg said the certification program includes two designations -- certified professional (IPMA-CP) and certified specialist (IPMA-CS).
The program contains two components -- a behavioral component based on the IPMA-HR competency model and a technical component that is based on the human resource management experience of an applicant, said Reichenberg, adding that there is a written examination that needs to be passed in order to obtain certification.
Qian Zheng, training center director of the SAFEA, said currently the center is working to open some training and test branches for the certification program across the country, and for a better operation, the center will set unified criterion for teachers, teaching materials and tuition fees at all training branches.
