SHRM-CP®/SHRM-SCP® Certification THROUGH CRHRA
CRHRA has been awarded SHRM Learning System Champion Status since 2025.

Our Study Group provides the body of knowledge required to take the SHRM-CP®/SHRM-SCP® Exams.
Study group participation is limited with priority to current qualified CRHRA members who intend to sit for exams in the upcoming testing window. Non-members (including non-active members) may register through the link and will be placed on a waiting list. The study group size is limited to 20 participants.
Study Group Cost: Our goal as a chapter is to coordinate a study group for CRHRA (current and aspiring) members. Course materials and instruction are included in the cost of the study group. We aim to keep the cost of the study group as affordable as possible.
