SHRM Certification Support

Earning your SHRM certification is an important professional milestone, and CCSHRM is here to support you every step of the way.

We have a dedicated Certification Director whose role is to guide and support members throughout their SHRM certification journey — whether you’re exploring certification for the first time or preparing to sit for the exam.

Our chapter offers resources and support options that may include:

  • SHRM Certification Study Groups

  • Access to the SHRM Learning System

  • Guidance on eligibility, preparation strategies, and exam timelines

If you are interested in pursuing SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP certification, we’d love to hear from you. Please take a moment to complete our certification interest survey so we can better understand your needs and tailor our support accordingly.
