We can help you feel more confident and prepare for it in just 9 weeks. The PHRca is for professionals who either practice in California or are responsible for human resource management in California. You do not have to be located in California to earn a PHRca. Many certification holders add the PHRca to their other HRCI credentials, but this could be your first certification ever.
