SHRM-CP
SHRM CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL (SHRM-CP)
Establish yourself as a globally-recognized human resource expert by earning the new standard in HR certification: SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP). This professional certification can open doors for professional advancement, serve to harmonize standards with changing expectations and signal to employers advanced professional development. The SHRM-CP reflects what HR practitioners need to know to be professionals in their organizations and in the profession.
SHRM-CP certification is designed for HR practitioners who are engaged primarily in an operational role— implementing policies, serving as the HR point of contact for staff and stakeholders, and/or performing day-to-day HR functions. If this is your focus, the SHRM-CP is likely your best option, even if you meet the eligibility criteria for the SHRM-SCP.
HR professionals who implement policies and strategies, serve as point of contact for staff and stakeholders, deliver HR services, and perform operational HR functions, should take the SHRM-CP exam.
