Eligibility Criteria
Which one to choose
The SHRM offers two types of exams, the SHRM-Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and the SHRM-Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP). They are designed for different audiences, based on the level of experience in the field.
SHRM-CP
For individuals performing HR or HR-related duties or pursuing a career in Human Resources (basic working knowledge in HR is recommended).
Your current or most recent work in HR is operational in nature (i.e., implementing policies, serving as the HR point of contact for staff, or performing day-to-day HR functions).
Your duties tend to be specialized versus general.
SHRM-SCP
For individuals with a work history of at least three years performing strategic level HR or HR-related duties; or for SHRM-CP credential holders who have held the credential for at least three years and are working in, or are in the process of transitioning to, a strategic level role.
Your current or most recent work in HR is strategic in nature (i.e., develop HR policies, execute all integrated HR operations, direct the entire HR enterprise, or lead the alignment of HR strategies to organizational goals).
Even if you are on a senior role, you might not be eligible for the SHRM-SCP exam, or you might decide for yourself that you should go for the SHRM-CP first.
