The SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP®) exam is one of the most widely recognized HR credentials in the United States. Administered by the Society for Human Resource Management, the exam validates that HR professionals can apply HR knowledge to real-world workplace situations. It's designed for practitioners who implement policies, serve as the HR point of contact, or perform operational HR functions.
The SHRM-CP covers four behavioral competency clusters — Leadership, Business, Interpersonal, and People — plus HR-specific knowledge in areas like talent acquisition, employee engagement, total rewards, and employment law. The exam consists of 134 questions (including 24 field-test items) and must be completed in 3 hours and 40 minutes. SHRM reports that the overall pass rate is approximately 68%, but first-time test-takers often score lower without structured preparation.
Kaplan's SHRM-CP® free trial makes professional HR certification prep accessible to independent professionals and HR teams — no credit card, no commitment. A more complete prep experience is on the way.
