Why Earn SHRM Certification?

When you’re SHRM certified, you’ll be universally recognized as a human resource expert, which can open doors for professional advancement worldwide. Employers recognize the distinction, and they’ll know you have what it takes to be a leader in their organization and across the industry.

Students who pass the exam can become either a SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP™) or a SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP™).
