Intended Audience:
Individuals seeking additional support as they prepare to take the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP Exam.
Led by qualified and certified HR instructors, our intensive SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP preparation programs, combined with the SHRM Learning System, present a comprehensive and detailed review of the current SHRM Body of Competency & Knowledge™ (SHRM BoCK™). By attending, you will be able to identify areas of strength and build on them. You will also see where you need further concentrated study in preparation for either exam.
After registering for your program, you will receive the SHRM Learning System to begin your exam preparation. To gain the greatest benefits from your seminar, utilize your SHRM Learning System before the program begins. During your seminar, your SHRM-certified instructor will build upon the foundation you've already established through your studies, guiding you through interactive discussions, sample test questions, and periodic progress checks.
While these programs should not be considered your only preparation for certification, they serve as a very valuable component to help you focus your study efforts and maximize your results.
