A Master's Certificate of Professional Development is offered to an individual who has successfully completed a set curriculum of courses offered under the HRC Corporate University.

The Continuing Education Unit or CEU is a uniform measure of non-credit continuing education learning experience. What we mean by "non-credit" is that any CEU credit(s) earned under the HRC Corporate University would not be applicable to any college, university, or four-year educational institution degree or course of study, accredited or not accredited. One (1) CEU is awarded for every one (1) hour of participation. For example, if you attend a 4 hour training course under the HRC Corporate University, you would be eligible for 4 hours of CEU credit. To receive full CEU credit for a course, an individual would have to participate in the entire length of the course. Leaving early and/or arriving late during a course may effect the number of CEU credits you would earn.

The HRC Corporate University currently offers CEU credits for individuals with a 1) California Residential Care Facility Administrator's License under a Group Home (GH), Adult Residential Facility (ARF) or Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) designation; or 2) current PHR, SPHR, or GPHR Certification under the HR Certification Institute (HRCI).
