Now can take the test now = to consider yourself a PHR or a GPHR - you need to pass the test & have 2 years of exempt level work experience If you want to take the test = with your master's degree you will need 1 year of exempt level work experience. In today's economy and the HR environment, it could take you a few years to get an exempt level job.
