SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) Additionally, SHRM has established  a governance body called the SHRM Certification Commission that will serve as a technical advisory committee and will have delegated authority from the SHRM Board.  SHRMs email states that they are designing our certification program to meet the highest standards of the industry and are creating the SHRM Certification Commission in order to ensure that there is no conflict of interest.   The SHRM Certification Commission will oversee all technical aspects of the certification program, including the overall development of the exam, eligibility requirements and issuance of recertification.   The commission will be comprised of volunteers who have extensive HR and business expertise from industries and organizations around the world. Information About the Certification Preparation and Recertification Credit Recertification and what counts toward recertification will remain the same through the end of 2014.   SHRM chapters and state councils can offer recertification credits through 2015 for both the current certification and the new SHRM certification as part of their meetings and programming.   SHRM will continue to support the current programs through the December 2014 January, 2015 testing windows. This blog is an HRCI Approved Provider offering free webinars and other webcasts either live or on demand. Im hopeful that there is information and details for a resource like Blogging4Jobs. My hope is to meet with a member of the SHRM Certification Governance Board during the Annual Conference next week. SHRM also states they will continue to submit their own  2014 and 2015 programs to HRCI for pre-approved recertification credits in order to ensure that individuals with current certifications meet the eligibility requirements to obtain the new SHRM certification.  SHRM Learning Systems will remain available for sale via SHRM through  November 30, 2014.
