SHRM Certification

Choosing a Certification

For more than 70 years HR professionals worldwide have looked to SHRM for comprehensive resources to help them contribute more effectively in the workplace, accelerate their careers, and develop strategic perspectives on human resource management. In continued support of this effort, SHRM has established two behavioral competency-based certifications: 

SHRM CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL (SHRM-CP) For HR professionals functioning at the operational level performing duties such as implementing HR policies, supporting day-to-day HR functions, or serving as an HR point of contact for staff and/or stakeholders. SHRM SENIOR CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL (SHRM-SCP) For HR professionals functioning at the strategic level performing duties such as developing HR policies and strategies, overseeing the execution of integrated HR operations, or directing an entire HR enterprise.

Top 5 Reasons to Become SHRM Certified

DEMONSTRATES YOUR COMMITMENT TO HR Earning a SHRM certification is an outward reflection of your commitment to the world of HR and the desire to help build better workplaces. According to SHRM research, SHRM credential holders report being more committed to the HR profession than their non-certified counterparts and indicate a greater sense of pride in their role as an HR professional. HELPS TO ROUND OUT YOUR SKILLS The SHRM certification exams cover the eight behavioral competencies and 15 functional knowledge areas described in the SHRM BASK. But SHRM certification is about more than book smarts: To qualify to take the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP exam, you must also have real-world HR experience. Being well-versed in many different aspects of HR provides SHRM credential-holders with the flexibility to be strong performers. Knowledge plus experience combine to prove that you are a skilled and well-rounded HR professional. HELPS YOU BETTER PREPARE FOR BUSINESS CHALLENGES Just as a certified public accountant (CPA) is trusted to thoroughly understand and apply the principles of accounting, and a project management professional (PMP) is trusted to know how to successfully lead projects, the same trust comes with a SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credential. According to SHRM research, SHRM-certified professionals receive higher levels of respect from their colleagues and peers than HR staff who are not certified, and more SHRM credential-holders report that they are highly prepared for business situations. SUPPORTS YOUR CAREER ADVANCEMENT Holding a SHRM certification demonstrates your ability to function as an effective HR practitioner at the operational or strategic level. This mark of distinction not only has the potential of elevating your competitive standing in the workplace and/or job market but can also lead to increased earning potential. According to SHRM research, SHRM credential holders report salaries higher than non-certified professionals and agree that holding a SHRM certification increases the likelihood of obtaining a promotion in the field. PUSHES YOU TO CONTINUE TO LEARN AND GROW SHRM-CPs and SHRM-SCPs participate in various types of professional development activities to keep their knowledge and skills current and relevant. To maintain the credential, SHRM-certified professionals must earn at least 60 professional development credits every three years-so the learning never stops.
