Raise the bar in your career and become SHRM Certified

Are you ready to prepare for your SHRM certification?

CiHRG offers a local study group to help participants prepare for the SHRM certification exam. The group typically meets online on Wednesdays from 6:00–8:00 PM prior to the next testing window.

You'll benefit from topic reviews, practical application discussions, and sample question reviews. Plus, you’ll gain networking opportunities and a sense of camaraderie with other participants.

Testing Windows

The SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP exams are offered during two testing windows each year. You must apply during the appropriate application period, and your application must be received by the standard deadline. Detailed information about testing windows and fees is available here.

Discounted Study Materials

Study materials are available through CiHRG at a discounted rate of $575. These include printed materials and access to SHRM’s online learning content. Details are available on the CiHRG website.

If you're interested in pursuing certification, please email cihrg1@gmail.com for more information. Industry-recognized certification will give you the knowledge and confidence to advance your career!
