SHRM Certification

SHRM Faculty Members at SJSU

Pass the SHRM exam. Not on your own, but with us.

Many of our students come to us after trying self-study or an online course and not passing. Then they take our class, and they pass. Nine Saturdays, in person at SJSU. October 10 - December 12, 2026. Timed for the December-February testing window.

Already tried and didn't pass?

You're the person this course was built for. The SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP aren't knowledge tests. Half the exam is situational judgment — scenarios with four defensible answers where you have to identify the one SHRM considers best. That's why experienced HR professionals with strong instincts still fail, and why reading the material on your own often isn't enough.
