Recognised by the HR Certification Institute

Happydance Academy courses are recognised by the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) for professional recertification credits. That recognition is not self-awarded; it means an independent accreditation body has reviewed the curriculum and confirmed it meets the standard required for continuing professional development.

What HRCI accreditation means for you

  • Counts toward your recertification. Each course awards credit hours applicable to PHR, SPHR, and GPHR credentials. Confirm the exact credit value for your chosen course at enrolment.
  • Curriculum held to an external standard. HRCI approval requires the content to be substantive, current, and professionally relevant. It is a third-party quality signal, not a self-assessment.
  • Recognised across the profession. HRCI credentials are held by HR professionals in more than 100 countries. Accreditation in this framework carries weight with employers and leadership teams alike.

Built around your organisation, not a generic case study

Every course includes assignments you complete using your own employer brand as the subject. You finish with real, usable work: a strategy document, a framework, or a presentation deck, depending on the course. Not a certificate on its own.
