CHRP Employment Law Exam & CHRL Employment Law Exam
HRPA’s exams are currently delivered by Prometric via computer-based testing and this partnership was expanded in August 2020 to include online delivery through a secure remote proctoring system – ProProctor. As the situation with COVID-19 remains fluid, HRPA will continue with the dual-modality delivery model until the end of 2021. If you are planning to write either the CHRP Employment Law Exam (CHRP-ELE) or the CHRL Employment Law Exam (CHRL-ELE), you have the choice of writing the exam remotely via an online delivery module, or – if you prefer and test centres in your area are open – in person. New: HRPA will be introducing structural changes to the CHRP and CHRL Employment Law Exams for 2021. What this means is that the Employment Law Exams will be divided into 2 content sections. The structural changes are as follows: CHRP Employment Law Exam (CHRP -ELE)CHRL Employment Law Exam (CHRL -ELE)Exam Content Section 1: 1 hour and 45 minsExam Content Section 1: 1 hour and 45 mins1 optional 15 min break1 optional 15 min breakExam Content Section 2: 1 hour and 45 minsExam Content Section 2: 1 hour and 45 minsTotal: 3.5 hours to complete 110 questionsTotal: 3.5 hours to complete 110 questionsBreaks: You will be permitted one 15 - minute optional break which we encourage you to take after you have completed and submitted Exam Section 1 and before you start Exam Section 2. Breaks are not permitted during Exam Section 1 or Exam Section 2. Please note: There are no changes to content, format, method of delivery, level of difficulty or the eligibility requirements. Registration for the CHRP or CHRL Employment Law Exam involves a simple three-step process:

Reasonable accommodation refers to any adjustment to the examination materials or testing environment that permits a qualified applicant with a disability to perform without undue hardship to the institution providing accommodation. Documented disabilities are those for which there is a diagnosis by a qualified professional. The purpose of accommodations is to provide equity, not advantage. Any requested modification that would substantially alter essential elements of the examination will not be granted. To request accommodations for your examination, please complete the ‘Examination Accommodations Request Form‘ and submit it to exams@hrpa.ca for review.
