What is the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)?

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is a world-wide professional society that has been the leading provider of resources to meet the needs of HR professionals and promoting the advancement of the management of human resources. The SHRM awards certificates for the Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and the Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP). Both exams have eligibility requirements that include specific education and work experience criteria. These requirements can be found by visiting www.shrm.org.

ven if you meet the requirements for the SHRM-SCP exam, the SHRM-CP may be your best option depending on your current professional needs. The SHRM-CP is tailored for the HR professional that is involved in an operational role, while the SHRM-SCP fits the HR professional that is in a more strategic role. The SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge (SHRM BoCK) can be helpful in deciding which exam best fits your professional needs. It describes behavioral competencies and HR knowledge needed to effectively perform both operational and strategic roles. You will find it by visiting www.shrm.org.

The SHRM-CP measures the level of competency and knowledge expected of early to mid-level HR professionals. The SHRM-SCP measures the level of competency and knowledge of a senior level HR professional. Both exams are computer-based. Four hours are allotted for the 160 multiple-choice questions. About 60% of the questions involve HR-specific knowledge with the other 40% being scenario-based in which application and decision-making skills are assessed. Credit is given for correct answers only. While more than one answer might address an issue presented in the situational judgment portion, only the best possible response will be awarded credit for being correct. The exams both include 30 field-test questions that do not count toward your score. A provisional pass/did not pass result is issued before leaving the testing center.
