Human Resource Management Network (HRMN), in Manhattan, KS is hosting a study group for any individuals that are interested in obtaining either SHRM or HRCI certification this Fall. The study group will meet once a week for twelve weeks to prepare for the exam.

The group will study for SHRM or HRCI, so the group will have to agree on which exam to study for. Participants will purchase their own study materials (at a group discounted rate).  Facilitators from HRMN will lead the study group and help prep for the exam.

This is a great opportunity for those that have been interested but haven’t yet taken that leap, or for those that are ready to study for the next level exam.

SHRM is accepting applications NOW through August 15, 2019, for members interested to take either the SHRM CP or SCP exam in 2019.

Please contact Robyn Harris, HRMN Certification Director if you are interested in this opportunity!
