Since getting involved with CompareHRIS<\/a>.com and HR-SoftwareBlog.com, I have seen a number of online questions related to general\u00a0HRIS certifications<\/a>. I\u2019ve seen these questions on social networking sites, forums and blogs. I usually answer these questions with the same answer. I am not familiar with anyone offering a general HRIS certification and even if they did, I am not sure it would be of much value.<\/p>\n

A general HRIS certification class would have to be too broad to provide enough detail to provide any depth. You would have to cover not only the entry level under 50 employee systems but also the large multi-national global\u00a0HRMS systems\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n

The only HRIS certifications I am aware of are classes offered by individual HRIS vendors to their clients.
