About HRA Program Measurement

The purpose of the HRA is not to demonstrate a participant’s status as a Human Resource Subject Matter Expert. Instead, it is to demonstrate their ability to think, act, and learn using best behavioral standards (soft-skills) that are most demanded by Human Resource Managers (SJI, 2013), that meet the academic integrity to complete a higher (post-baccalaureate) education course, and adequately demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge effectively by seeking out what information they do not know.

Learners who fall within a margin of error will have their preparation AUDITED and scores assigned based on completion of preparation activities. The scores are based upon the following demonstrated application:

• completion of learning theory to a satisfactory standard;
• completion of a learning program to satisfactory standard;
• access and engagement of applied content provided to a satisfactory standard.

Each category of satisfactory standard is measured by 80% actual completion. Therefore, learners are encouraged to complete the exercises within the prep-room to ensure their demonstrated ability to think, learn, and apply knowledge in ways other than an exam. The scoring of participation ONLY applies to those that do not pass on the first attempt but fall within the margin of error (+/-3% cumulative).
