Preparation for SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP Certification

Why Attend

This SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP certification preparation course is designed to equip HR professionals to pass the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP examination while strengthening their ability to think and act in alignment with SHRM’s competency-based philosophy. Participants will develop a structured understanding of the SHRM Body of Applied Skills and Knowledge (BASK), which defines the behavioral competencies and HR knowledge domains required for effective performance. The course enables participants to translate theory into practical workplace judgment and build the confidence to answer Situational Judgment Questions (SJTs) with clarity and precision.
