SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge (SHRM BASK)
The SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP certifications are built upon the SHRM BASK which is more than an exam outline. It defines the standards for knowledge, strategies and competencies required for effective HR professionals around the world.
To maintain this level of excellence and relevancy, SHRM brought together some of the best minds in the HR profession to define eight behavioral competencies and 15 functional areas that every HR professional should know.

I wanted to reach out and let you know that I PASSED the SHRM-CP exam. It was definitely a process, but I am so grateful for the opportunity to complete the prep course online as I would not have been able to make the drive to St. Cloud and there was not an option for a course in my area.
Collette is an absolutely wonderful instructor. I felt more prepared because of the instruction and the course. During the test I kept reminding myself of the advice Collette gave for test taking.
Thanks again!
