Welcome to the University of Miami SHRM (SHRM-CP™/ SHRM- SCP™) Certificate Program
5 Steps for Successful HR Certification Preparation
The Society for Human Resource Management’s Certified Professional (SHRM-CP™) and Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP™) credentials are poised to become the new standard for all HR professionals around the globe. Designed with the modern business landscape in mind, these are the first HR certifications focused on teaching and testing the real-life competencies, knowledge, and skills HR professionals need to excel in their careers today. The University of Miami SHRM Certification program combines intensive expert instruction with the SHRM Learning System® for SHRM-CP™/SHRM-SCP™, enabling participants to learn faster, retain more knowledge, and focus on successful exam results for these two certifications.
This program is offered through the Office of Professional Advancement at the University of Miami.
Certification exams and credentialing are not associated or included with the University of Miami certificate programs. Graduates or participants of a University of Miami certificate program are independently responsible for certification requirements, costs, and fees and are encouraged to view the certification website and contact test administrators to find out exam details and logistics.
Nearly every industry relies on human resources managers, and their list of duties and responsibilities is extensive. They play a crucial role in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring new employees, and also act as a bridge between staff and management. They mediate disputes, oversee disciplinary actions, give advice on policy and procedures, and monitor issues involving payroll, benefits, and compliance. Because their work directly affects nearly every member of a company, the human resources manager position is crucial to most businesses.
The U.S. Department of Labor projects that the employment rate for human resources managers will grow by 13% between 2012 and 2022, higher than the average growth rate for all professions combined. When new companies are formed and existing companies expand, the need for human resources managers grows as well. The changing landscape of employment laws, including the adoption of the Affordable Healthcare Act, is also expected to create more openings in the human resources field.
The SHRM-CP™ and SHRM-SCP™ certifications were spawned by today’s demand for a more accessible, globally recognized HR credential which demonstrates knowledge and application of current HR practices. The University of Miami SHRM exam prep course hones in on the core information and competencies covered on the SHRM-CP™ and SHRM-SCP™ examinations, including laws and regulations, business strategy, employee relations, and the role and uses of modern technology in the HR field.
UM’s program offers an interactive environment where students can learn the valuable concepts and techniques needed to pass the SHRM’s certification exam. Classes are led by an experienced SHRM-approved instructor who uses real corporate examples to bring the concepts in the SHRM Learning System to life.
Designed by SHRM, this program acts as a customized road map to the competencies and knowledge needed to become a strategic HR Practitioner. Students will also learn a broad range of valuable business concepts, adding more value to their current role in any organization.
All HR professionals seeking certification for the first time can now apply for the exam. HR professionals with existing generalist certifications (PHR ®, SPHR®, GPHR®, HRBP®, or HRMP®) in good standing are eligible for the new SHRM certification by taking an online tutorial.
The SHRM-CP™ and SHRM-SCP™ credentials have set a new standard for excellence in the HR field. Those who remain with their current companies will add a distinction which sets them apart from their colleagues and showcases their standing as a recognized expert in the HR community. For those seeking new positions elsewhere, the SHRM-CP™ and SHRM-SCP™ credentials increase their value and desirability. The new HR certification is relevant worldwide, giving professionals the flexibility to use their newfound knowledge, skills, and competencies throughout the global community.
