Experienced HR
SHRM-SCP is the senior-level SHRM certification: strategy, leadership and HR’s impact on the business. Newer to HR? Start with SHRM-CP.
Practice, not theory
Classes 2–13 end with exam-style questions. You learn how the exam thinks, not just the terms.
Plain language
Materials and practice tests are in English, like the exam — explained simply enough to take the exam with an intermediate level of English.
Five questions. Honest answer.
Much of the SHRM-SCP tests judgment: what a senior HR leader should do first. Try five situations written in the exam’s style and see where you stand.
Sample questions written by Pritula Academy in the style of the exam. They are not official SHRM items.
14 classes, 19 exam topics.
Built on the SHRM competency model. Classes 2–13 end with a breakdown of exam-style questions.
