The SHRM Certification Preparation Course (SHRM CP/SCP) is a comprehensive and globally aligned training program designed to prepare HR professionals to earn internationally recognized credentials from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) — the world’s largest HR professional organization.
This course is built on the SHRM Body of Applied Skills and Knowledge (SHRM BASK™), a modern framework that defines the essential HR competencies and behavioral expectations needed to succeed in the profession.

Delivered over 9 weeks (60 training hours), the course enhances participants’ abilities in areas such as HR strategy, compliance, employee relations, diversity, ethics, organizational development, and global workplace practices. It includes interactive lectures, case studies, and mock assessments to simulate the real SHRM certification exams.

Offered in both Arabic and English, this course equips participants with the tools, confidence, and up-to-date knowledge required to pass the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP exams and become globally certified.

With SHRM certifications recognized in over 100 countries, this training course is a career-defining gateway to global HR excellence.

The SHRM CP/SCP Certification Preparation Course is tailored for HR professionals and practitioners — or individuals with relevant work experience — who are aiming to earn an internationally recognized credential that validates their HR competencies and global practice standards. SHRM Certification course prepares participants for two distinct certification levels:

• SHRM-CP (Certified Professional): Designed for HR professionals in operational or mid-level roles, typically with 1–3 years of experience in HR or a related field.
• SHRM-SCP (Senior Certified Professional): Targeted toward HR leaders and strategic-level practitioners, generally with 5+ years of experience, who are involved in decision-making, workforce planning, and organizational development.

Eligibility to sit for either exam depends on a combination of years of experience and academic background, but the preparation course itself provides the knowledge and exam readiness tools for both levels.

This makes the course suitable for a wide range of HR professionals seeking career advancement, from mid-level specialists to senior-level executives.

Yes, the SHRM CP/SCP course is based on the globally recognized SHRM BASK™ (Body of Applied Skills and Knowledge) framework, which outlines the essential competencies and knowledge areas required for HR professionals to thrive in today’s complex work environments.

The course covers a broad range of strategic and operational HR topics, including:
Leadership and influence
Employee relations and organizational communication
Compliance, risk management, and ethical practice
Talent development and succession planning
Performance management
Organizational culture and change management
Data analysis and evidence-based decision-making
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)

What makes SHRM BASK™ unique is its dual focus on behavioral competencies and HR knowledge, emphasizing not just what HR professionals should know — but how they should act and respond in real workplace scenarios.
This ensures that participants are prepared not only for the certification exam, but also to lead HR practices with confidence and strategic alignment.

While earning the SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credential ultimately depends on passing the official SHRM exam, the preparation course offered by Tharwah Higher Institute for Training is designed to significantly increase participants’ success rates through structured, expert-led support.
The course does not guarantee certification, but it provides:
Comprehensive coverage of all exam domains aligned with the SHRM BASK™ framework.
Interactive sessions led by certified instructors with real-world HR experience.
Practice question banks and review sessions that mirror actual exam formats.
Personalized coaching on how to register, schedule the exam, and follow effective study plans.
Participants also receive the official SHRM Learning System, along with time management tools and mock exams to evaluate readiness.
This full-circle support makes the course not just a training experience, but a strategic launchpad toward SHRM certification success.

The primary distinction between SHRM-CP (Certified Professional) and SHRM-SCP (Senior Certified Professional) lies in the nature of your role, your level of experience, and your organizational impact.
SHRM-CP is designed for HR practitioners in operational, administrative, or supervisory roles. These individuals focus on policy implementation, day-to-day HR processes, and direct employee engagement. It’s typically suited for professionals with 1–3 years of experience.
SHRM-SCP is for senior HR professionals who are involved in strategic decision-making, organizational planning, HR leadership, and driving enterprise-wide initiatives. It’s appropriate for those with 5+ years of experience, especially in leadership or advisory positions.
Choosing between the two isn’t just about the number of years you’ve worked — it’s about what you do in your current role, the complexity of your responsibilities, and the strategic level of your contributions.
The preparation course covers content for both certifications, and your instructor will guide you in selecting the right exam level based on your professional profile.

SHRM Certification preparation course is delivered in both Arabic and English, giving participants the flexibility to choose the language that best suits their learning preferences and educational background.

Although the SHRM certification exam is only administered in English, delivering the course in Arabic helps many participants grasp complex HR scenarios, models, and case studies more comfortably, particularly those with limited exposure to English business environments.

Importantly, the course content is fully licensed by SHRM and based on the official SHRM Learning System, which is the globally endorsed standard for SHRM exam preparation.

This dual-language approach ensures that learners benefit from accessible training in Arabic, while being fully prepared for the English-based global certification exam.

The SHRM CP/SCP preparation course at Tharwah Higher Institute for Training is not just an exam prep class — it is a comprehensive professional development journey that equips participants for lasting success in the HR field.
