SHRM-SCP Governance Training
Master strategic HR competencies and build governing judgment with our AI-driven training platform aligned to the SHRM BASK.
What is the SHRM-SCP?
The SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) is the premier certification for senior-level HR practitioners who develop strategies, lead HR functions, and influence organizational policies. It demonstrates mastery of strategic HR competencies and the ability to apply HR knowledge at the highest levels.
Unlike the SHRM-CP which focuses on operational HR, the SHRM-SCP validates your ability to develop and implement HR strategy aligned with organizational goals, lead change initiatives, and serve as a strategic business partner.
The SHRM-SCP is globally recognized and demonstrates your commitment to strategic HR excellence. It's ideal for HR directors, VPs of HR, CHROs, and senior HR business partners.
