SHRM Body of Applied Skills and Knowledge™ (SHRM BASK™)
The SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP certifications are built upon the SHRM BASK which is more than an exam outline. It defines the standards for the knowledge, strategies and competencies required for effective HR professionals around the world.
To maintain this level of excellence and relevancy, SHRM brought together some of the best minds in the HR profession to define nine behavioral competencies and 14 functional areas that every HR professional should know.
The University of Alabama’s SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP Test Prep Program offers you a preparation course to help meet your needs and increase your success on the SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP exams.
