Course Introduction

This intensive bootcamp reviews the full SHRM Body of Applied Skills & Knowledge (BASK) — the framework both the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP exams are built on — combining structured content review with exam-style practice. It is designed to complement self-study, not replace it: participants should already be working through SHRM’s own study materials before attending.

  • Apply situational judgment reasoning to the exam’s scenario-based questions (54 of 134 total questions, roughly 40% of the exam) 
  • Identify personal knowledge gaps through diagnostic practice testing 
  • Build a realistic study and exam-scheduling plan aligned to SHRM’s testing windows 
  • Approach exam day with a clear strategy for pacing and question triage 

Who should attend?

  • HR Professionals Preparing to Sit the SHRM-CP Exam (No HR Title, Degree, or Experience Required to Apply) 
  • Senior HR Professionals with Strategic-Level Experience Preparing for the SHRM-SCP
