Establish yourself as a globally–recognized human resource expert by earning the new standard in HR certification: SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP). These professional certifications can open doors for professional advancement, serve to harmonize standards with changing expectations, and signal to employers advanced professional development.

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is the world’s largest human resources professional society, and represents 300,000 members in more than 165 countries.
