Intended Audience
Individuals seeking additional support as they prepare to take the SHRM-CP Exam.


Program Overview

Do you need an extra boost as you prepare to take your SHRM-CP exam? The SHRM-CP Power Prep Course will help you learn to apply your knowledge of the SHRM Body of Applied Skills and Knowledge™ (BASK™) to the SHRM-CP exam. This interactive course is designed to help you become exam ready through individual and group exercises that teach you to master the SHRM-CP exam’s two types of multiple-choice questions. You will also take an in-depth look at situational judgment items, how they are created, and how to respond using your knowledge of the BASK. By the end of the program, you will walk away with a customized study plan that fits your study style and timeline.
