SHRM-CP / SHRM-SCP Certification Prep Bootcamp

The programme

Programme overview

This intensive bootcamp reviews the full SHRM Body of Applied Skills & Knowledge (BASK) — the framework both the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP exams are built on — combining structured content review with exam-style practice. It is designed to complement self-study, not replace it: participants should already be working through SHRM’s own study materials before attending.

Who should attend

Who is this programme for?

• HR professionals preparing to sit the SHRM-CP exam (no HR title, degree, or experience required to apply)
• Senior HR professionals with strategic-level experience preparing for the SHRM-SCP
• Graduates of Ratomac HRBP / Strategic HR courses looking to formalise their credential
• HR practitioners recertifying who want a structured refresher

Learning outcomes

What you will learn

By the end of this bootcamp, participants will be able to:

• Navigate the full BASK framework: the eight behavioural competencies, one technical competency, and 14 HR functional knowledge areas
• Apply situational judgment reasoning to the exam’s scenario-based questions (roughly 40% of the exam)
• Identify personal knowledge gaps through diagnostic practice testing
• Build a realistic study and exam-scheduling plan aligned to SHRM’s testing windows

Learning approach

How you will learn

Our diverse instructional approaches ensure effective learning:

Facilitator-led review combined with practice questions modelled on the current exam format (134 questions, approximately 3 hours 40 minutes testing time). This is independent exam-preparation training — it does not replace SHRM’s own official study materials, and participants must apply and pay for the SHRM exam separately through SHRM directly.
