Requirements for designation as a Certified Human Resource Manager include completion of seven required and five elective courses, completion of a written test, and participation in an assessment center, where a participant's reactions to real-life situations are evaluated based on multiple observations by multiple observers.

On achieving the status of Certified Human Resource Manager, Watson commented, "It is an excellent program focused on the constant updates of human resource principles and laws as they relate to local governments."
