It usually takes students 4 to 6 months to prepare for SHRM exams. That is, we understand that studying for the SHRM exam can be a quite challenging task. We deliver you comprehensive yet flexible time schedule with blended preparation courses.
The SHRM-CP exam is designed to assess the competency level of HR at the operational level. This level includes implementing policies, supporting day-to-day HR functions, or serving as an HR point of contact for staff and stakeholders. The SHRM-SCP exam is designed to assess the competency level of those who engage in HR work at the strategic level. Work at this level includes duties such as developing HR policies and/or procedures, overseeing the execution of integrated HR operations, directing an entire HR enterprise, or leading the alignment of HR strategies to organizational goals.

In general, CP certification for HR professionals at entry and mid-level, and SCP certification for HR professionals with duties of strategic business partner roles to support business.
The instructors offer online courses and live sessions primarily in Chinese, and provide  explanations in English when needed, while the materials created by the learners and the case studies presented by the instructors are all in English.
