💡 Which Certification Should You Choose?

• If you want a global HR career (especially in the US or very large multinationals) → SHRM‑SCP or SPHR / GPHR are excellent.

• If you're more junior / early in HR → aPHR or PHR might make sense.

• If you're more interested in European / UK HR roles → consider CIPD.

• If you want to specialize in talent management, analytics, or compensation → look into niche certifications (TMI, AIHR, WorldatWork).
