The instructor-led learning option is ideal for those who prefer a structured environment with a live, SHRM-certified instructor. Classroom, virtual or hybrid options are offered throughout the year and each option includes the SHRM Learning System, the official SHRM cert prep tool. The curriculum is based on the SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge (SHRM BoCK), reinforced by the SHRM Learning System, and delivered in an interactive learning environment.

COVID-19 Impact: Currently, it’s not advisable to hold gatherings of groups for study purposes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare for the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP virtually with guidance from a SHRM-certified instructor. Select a virtual course option from SHRM or an Approved Partner below and you’ll benefit from live instruction and virtual peers – so you can prepare with confidence – from home.
