SHRM Certification Credentials

Why a certification? The SHRM credentials are based on the latest HR research and emerging knowledge for HR professionals. The SHRM certification tests HR competencies – the ability to put knowledge to work through critical thinking and application.

Business is changing and employers are insisting HR professionals adapt to that change. We now live and work in a global economy, where geographic borders are virtually non-existent, and innovation, agility and strategy are critical success factors. The HR profession operates at the core of this global economy, ensuring the alignment of organizational strategy with a high-performing workforce.

The College has partnered with SHRM to offer classes for these innovative certifications that have become the new global standard. Earning your certificate in these courses will help you gain a competitive advantage and boost your professional worth.

Classes offered in February and August present you the opportunity to stay ahead of the curve by being crowned with more relevant credentials. For more than 20 years, we have been the answer for HR professionals aspiring to grow their career.

Join us on the path to success.

Please note that this course helps prepare students to sit for the SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP certification exam and information, including application and exam fees, can be found at shrm.org. Certification exam fees are not included in the cost of the course.
