    Benefits of Certification

     

     
    Earning your SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credential makes you a recognized expert
    and leader in the HR field—and a valuable asset to your organization, keeping
    you and your organization more competitive in today's economy. This professional
    distinction sets you apart from your colleagues, proving your high level of knowledge
    and skills.
     

    COMPETENCY-BASED

    The profession is no longer just about what you know—facts and figures—but rather how you effectively implement that knowledge in the workplace each and every day. SHRM certification provides you the opportunity to prove not only what you know but also how you can apply that knowledge on the job. 

    RELEVANT 
    SHRM certifications directly link to on-the-job scenarios and realistic work situations. Seventy-three percent of examinees say the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP exams are HR job-relevant.

    UNIVERSALLY APPLICABLE
    Built upon one comprehensive SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge™ (SHRM BoCK™), SHRM certification is applicable across industries, geographic borders, job responsibilities, and career levels

    FOCUSED ON  ADVANCEMENT 
    More than 5,000 employers are seeking SHRM credential-holders every month. The SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP credentials are based on the current HR landscape, focusing on the competencies and knowledge HR professionals need to lead in today’s business community. Boost your confidence to take that next step in your HR career or to distinguish yourself in a job search.

    STRATEGIC
