Program Professional Framework

Preparation for SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP Certification

Program Overview

Structured around the SHRM Body of Applied Skills and Knowledge (BASK), this programme prepares HR professionals for the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP exams by reviewing the behavioural competency clusters of Leadership, Interpersonal and Business alongside the HR knowledge domains of People, Organization and Workplace. Participants practise both knowledge items and situational judgment items, learn how the two exam levels differ in operational versus strategic focus, and build a personal study plan. Examples connect US-oriented content to HR practice in GCC organisations so that candidates understand concepts rather than memorise them.

Learning Outcomes

✓Map personal strengths and gaps against the BASK competency clusters and knowledge domains.
✓Explain key concepts in talent acquisition, engagement, learning, total rewards and workforce management at exam level.
✓Apply a structured method to answering situational judgment items through the SHRM competency lens.
✓Differentiate the operational focus of SHRM-CP items from the strategic focus of SHRM-SCP items.
✓Interpret employment law and risk management content and relate it to equivalent GCC practice.
✓Build a time-bound study plan with practice tests and review checkpoints.
