02Who it is for

For HR who want a global career.

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.

03Check yourself

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.
