Additional Information
Details on HRCI & SHRM exam eligibility can be found at www.hrci.org and www.shrm.org. Exam scheduling and associated fees are managed by each certifying organization and are not required until the individual is prepared to sit for the exam.
Certification Preparation Classes are not required to sit for the exam offered by SHRM or HRCI. However, Inland Empire SHRM wants to increase your chance of success for passing the exam, so we encourage taking a prep class. Studies show that individuals that take the time to study and prepare for the exam seem to have a higher exam pass rate. Prep classes also give you the opportunity to meet other HR professionals with the same dedication to success.
