Have you taken the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP exam before and didn’t quite cross the finish line? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to prepare alone this time.
These six 90-minute virtual sessions are designed exclusively for HR professionals who are preparing to retake the exam during the May 1 – July 15, 2026, the SHRM testing window.
Why this program works:
*No sessions held on March 12th or March 19th
This isn’t just about passing the exam—it’s about building lasting professional connections and gaining the confidence to thrive as an HR leader.
“The Certification Success Cohort completely prepared me for the SHRM-CP exam. I had not opened a book or studied prior to the first cohort class. My exam was 4 weeks after the last class. They gave me the knowledge and belief that I was ready for the exam. I passed entirely because of this cohort.” 2025 Cohort participant, Becky M.
