Still in awe of my accomplishment and yes, still pinching myself every time I see my signature block ending with SHRM-SCP. I have been passionate about Human Resources for more than 15-years and this professional certification is such a validation of all the hard work on my part for years (through personal and professional challenges) and the support I received from family, friends, and my HR Jetpack team members! I wanted to post this to let others know the difference the HR Jetpack study guide materials and instructor led sessions made for me. I thank Cheryl Brown Merriwether, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPRC, CM as my 2021/22 instructor who gave me the best advice to-date, “think BIG HR” when determining the best answer. Thank you also to Christina A. Danforth, SHRM-SCP, SPHR for the many inspirational quotes, study, and exam day tips, as well as her email responsiveness. The two questions, people ask me most often, what made the difference? It was, for me, prayer along with the instructor, the great materials, the study group I joined among my other classmates, the online access of the SHRM learning portal’s tests, and flash cards. If I can inspire others, I’m happy to do it. More and more companies are requesting this validation, so I encourage anyone looking to add this to your toolbox of expertise and professionalism to get the HR Jetpack SHRM Learning kit, whether you’re an online, independent learner or one who, like me, excels and learns in an instructor-led team environment. The other question, “what’s next?” I’m looking to excel in my profession by securing an HR executive management position, as well as an opportunity to provide part-time instruction for others striving to achieve this certification. By the way, I still haven’t decided how I’m going to ‘formally’ celebrate with a tangible token, but still enjoying the process of shopping, any suggestions?

HR Generalist Senior, SHRM-CP City of Charlotte

A huge thank you to the HR Jetpack team for all their help in getting me across the finish line! The ability to utilize so many different resources from one program was the key to my success in passing the exam. I was able to "shop around" until I found an instructor to spoke to my personal learning style. Having the option to attend live classes as well review videos from various different instructors gave me a well-rounded understanding of the information being discussed. Chirstina's elimination consideration videos were priceless. They really helped me to move past the stress of the test, slow down, and methodically think through the situational judgement items as I was working through them on the exam. Christina was also very responsive to any questions I had concerning quiz items or book content from the SHRM learning system. Between the one-on-one help, the supplemental materials, and the access to various instructors in both live and recorded formats, this system really was worth every penny.

Before even applying to take the SHRM-CP test I searched for the best program I could find that would give me the most offerings for learnings and flexibility to suit my schedule. I am so pleased to have had a teacher willing to take calls, texts and emails to help her class be prepared. HR Jetpack gives you access to all their classes, recordings for 12 months, Additional practices tests and more. On of the main reasons I chose them. I am happy to say that I passed in my first attempt with the help and support of the HR Jetpack Team.

HR Jetpack is a game-changer! I honestly believe I would not have passed the SHRM-CP the first time without using all of the amazing resources, study tools, practice tests, and learning videos from HR Jetpack. I also really liked that I got access to the SHRM learning center along with my purchase of the HR Jetpack program. If you take the time to go through the very easy-to-follow program, I truly believe you will pass this beast of a test. The other bonus, apart from now having my SHRM-CP, is that you learn so much. I feel very confident in my overall HR skills. Thank you HR Jetpack!

HR Jetpack is a great way to study for the SHRM certification exams... I would not want to face the certification exam without taking this course.

I recently passed my SHRM-SCP exam on the first attempt. I entered the exam prepared and confident, in huge part to the tools and systems provided to me through the HR Jetpack preparation program. I watched every suggested video and followed the recommended process to the letter! I thought there was no need to "reinvent the wheel" in developing a study plan. This allowed me to maximize my time and energy studying! I really appreciated that there were so many learning options available through the program, so whatever your learning style is, there's an option to set you up for success. I would highly recommend the HR Jetpack program to any of my peers that are preparing for the SHRM certification.

HR Jetpack’s program is carefully designed and organized , along with the printed books every recorded class is amazingly helpful. I also took the live classes with the recorded ones , Christina Danforth’s chapter wise recorded classes with SJTs helped me to gain a deeper understanding ! I will definitely recommend HR jetpack’s program cause everyone motivates and guides just correctly and amazingly, they are the instructors i will always want by my side, not just passed , but learned a lot from them !

It's official, I received my SHRM-SCP!! I am 100% positive the key to me passing my exam, on my first attempt, was Christina Danforth, SHRM-SCP, SPHR and HRJetpack!! I followed the self-paced program with Christina and the study group where questions were posted everyday with the rationale behind the answer. The HRJetpack Elimination Consideration method was a game changer for me, I applied the method when taking my practice quizzes everyday and that really helped me with the exam. I recommend HRJetpack to everyone, especially those who have a busy schedule as HRJetpack makes it easier to be successful with your studies and pass!! Thank you Christina and HrJetpack!!

HR Jetpack has helped me tremendously, super helpful that all of the classes are recorded and flexible, so if you are not free or don't feel like staying up late you can watch the class at another time- the books they send you are super helpful as well I will be saving them...- I also PASSED the test so of course I would recommend HR Jetpack!

Lisa Warner

People Operations HR Partner

I have been in the professional HR space for over a decade, but put off getting my SHRM certification for a long time. I finally decided to bite the bullet and make getting my certification a priority. Job insecurity in the tech industry was a strong motivator, but getting certified was also a personal goal. I am not a strong test taker! I am a good student but tests are not my strength. I chose HR Jetpack because of the self-paced program that allowed me to go at my own pace and consolidate my learning with videos, reading, and practice tests and quizzes. I really followed Christina’s recommended order and cadence and it worked! I took the SHRM SCP exam and was really surprised to find the exam much easier than I thought it would be and I passed! Christina’s instruction on situational judgment questions was golden. I followed her method of elimination and aced the test. My best advice is to follow the program and devote a good month to intensive study prior to taking the exam. Thanks HR Jetpack!

Head of Human Resources - National Credit Holdings

HR Jetpack was great! I have been in HR for 8 years, but had no idea where to start when it came to studying for the SHRM-SCP. After reading all of the reviews I decided to go with HR Jetpack and it was an excellent choice. The customer service is great, I loved all of the different ways that the platform accommodates learning styles: live sessions, pre-recorded sessions, quizzes, reading, flashcards, etc. Christina is also amazing, she has personally answered my questions throughout the process, which was encouraging and solidified my confidence in the process. If you are trying to decided how to prep for SHRM CP or SCP this is the route to go. I have already recommended it to 3 other colleagues who are prepping for their exams! Good luck and happy studying!

Ready to take your HR career to the next level? HRJetpack was instrumental in helping me to prepare for my SHRM-CP exam! The courses are offered at a variety of times and then recorded in the event that you are unable to attend live. My instructor, Kelly Kozik, is an expert in the HR field. She shared her real-life experiences and HR knowledge with our class, as well additional study resources that helped me to prepare for the exam. Christina Danforth’s instructional test-taking videos on the HRJetpack website were SO valuable as another study resource! In addition to the support that I received from family, friends, and my employer, Christina personally reached out to share her positive support and to be accessible for any questions that I had. I am truly grateful for this great program in helping me achieve this milestone in my career and highly recommend this course to HR professionals interested in elevating their career!

Jacqueline Galiani

Manager, People and Culture: The Lenfest Institute for Journalism

I used the Jetpack videos to self-study for the SCP exam. I found Christina’s voice and explanations throughout the learning modules to be very thorough and calming. As I took the exam, I could still “hear” her voice, as I sifted through the question selections. What I liked best about using her system was the organization of it all. I set up a binder with dividers for each section. Doing that made the mountain of material feel less daunting to me. Finally, she responds to emails so quickly. She is a true professional in every way. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I would highly recommend HR Jetpack to anyone looking to pass the SHRM exam. The materials are up to date and relevant, the content also supports HR professionals with their day-to-day routines, and the instructors truly care about each student’s learning. I especially liked how they taught you to best answer situational judgement questions. Without HR Jetpack, I wouldn’t have passed!

HR Jetpack helped me to pass my SHRM-CP. I enrolled the instructor led session in March and pretty enjoy the whole learning process. My instructor Jama and Christina are really supportive. The facebook study group is a hit. I go there to check everyday even passing the exam.

Michael King

SHRM-SCP

The material and online support was first class. I had the online self study program which was perfect for my busy schedule. I was able to review the videos whenever it was convenient for me. The staff was always willing to help me prepare during my 9 month endeavor. I passed my SHRM-SCP. Yessssss!!! I highly recommend.

Torr Htcece

The resources provided by HR Jetpack are awesome and I loved the capability to go back and review the recorded sessions. I did this for times where I became burnt out with reading. My instructor Tina Bowles really broke things down to my comprehension.

Elicia Katrina Davis

SHRM-SCP

Hey everyone! I am so proud to announce that I have passed my SHRM-SCP exam thanks to HR Jetpack. Woohoo Jama Rand is an amazing teacher and is patient and very knowledgeable of the HR field. In the past, I was made to feel like I shouldn’t be in Human Resources but I never felt like that in class. My learning style is visual/auditory so I could watch classes or listen to them in the car and that helped a lot. Besides that, here’s how I studied: 25 minutes of reading, 5 minutes to review what I read and then a 5 minute break. Then I would take the quizzes and review the flash cards. Then I took the post-test and kept studying for the test like before. I was nervous when I took the test but the classes and studying helped me stay focused. Also, a lot of the questions always pointed to the strategic or strategy answer and in the situational questions that had four questions often hinted at the answer within those four questions. And my last tip is when learning definitions, if there are words that look familiar, look them up any way such as these:

Codetermination: cooperation between management and workers in decision-making

Technology: the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry

Always check to be sure and you should be ok. Good luck with your studies and the beast is yet to come

Josh Lopez

SHRM-SCP

HR Jetpack provided the structure and instruction I needed to make studying for the SHRM-SCP a priority. The classes effectively highlighted the key aspects of the material and my instructor, Jama, facilitated good discussion on areas that were difficult to understand. Moreover, she helped my class to begin “thinking like SHRM”, which was a key factor for my success in passing the SHRM-SCP exam! The SHRM material is comprehensive, but high quality. You are already investing in yourself by taking the exam. I recommend learning with HR Jetpack to maximize the investment, both in learning the material and understanding SHRM’s approach, which isn’t always what the average HR Pro would do in real life!

Vickie Salvatierra

Without question, HR Jetpack prepared me to take the SHRM-CP exam and pass on the 1st attempt! For me, the various ways of learning kept the information interesting. Videos, tips and real life scenarios presented by my awesome instructor Kelly Kozik, helped me remember the material. The daily questions, quizzes and flash cards were great tools as well. Having the sessions recorded was convenient and very useful after reading each book, cover to cover. I would absolutely recommend this course to everyone and keep positive thoughts throughout your studies.

Liz Nasello

HR Jetpack was a tremendous asset on my SHRM certification journey. The layout of the program is easy to navigate and offers incredible resources from quizzes, flash cards and tests. It also invaluable to be able to go back and listen to the classes to really understand a topic. My instructor, Kelly Kozik, was phenomenal. She offered real world scenarios to compare, sometimes difficult, SHRM material to assist with comprehension and memory. I highly recommend this program and believe that this program is pivotal to passing the certification test.

Julie Welsh Witmer

The instructors, study group, and practice exam questions really prepared me to understand all the SHRM processes and pass the exam. I highly recommend HR Jetpack and could not have done it without them!!!

Ashley Phillips

The studying tools, Facebook study group and daily questions kept me on my feet! The group was inspiring and encouraging. To hear other people experience the same struggles, hurdles and then celebrating the successes together was a great experience. I highly recommend HR Jetpack and the FB study group!

Danielle Hecker

SHRM-CP

Grateful to HR Jetpack for all the support and guidance through the process of passing my SHRM-CP. I'm new to HR so passing the exam is a huge confidence boost for me but I couldn't have done it without all the different study materials available to prepare. From the books, to the learning modules with quizzes to the flashcards to the practice tests I went through it all and felt very prepared to ace the test on the day of the exam! Study hard, prepare and have confidence in yourself and you will pass as well!

Abbey Trotter

SHRM-CP

HR Jetpack was instrumental in not only passing my SHRM-CP exam, but in growing my knowledge to further my career. The program gave me the tools I needed to study, tips to passing the exam, and taught me how to think like SHRM. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to take the exams, or just wanting to develop their HR skills.

Lessia Mirindi

SHRM-SCP

Having different resources while preparing for my SHRM exams (i took both CP & SCP), I can confidently say that HR Jetpack (with all the resources that they have under their umbrella) has been the best! Christina supports you with her super positive attitude throughout your journey, my class instructor Cheryl has been extremely professional and informative and fun (!) during our classes, the amount of supplemental materials has been impressive, the support of the FB group has been very important (the closer you get to the date of the exam the greater need for this support is), all the content of the FB group that you can access on the go! So you name it, HR Jetpack has it all!

Mary Worlds

SHRM-CP

Thank you HR Jetpack, with a special thanks to Christina Danforth and Mark Fogel. They were there every step of the way, providing vast knowledge, test taking information and answering any and all questions. This class was so helpful as the SHRM learning portal has so much information that it was overwhelming and I didn’t know where or how to start my studying. This class took sections each week to break down each of the functional areas and let you know what to focus on. I am SO glad I took this class and believe it 100% helped me pass my SHRM-CP exam. I highly recommend this course!

Ivette Pagan

SHRM-SCP

I signed up for the HR JetPack classes after having purchased the learning system from SHRM and realizing what I had gotten myself into. It was overwhelming! Taking the classes with HR JetPack was great, as I had the opportunity to go over all the materials, learn from a great professional (Mark) and hear others' experiences as well. Mark made the sessions interactive, engaging and fun. I'm so glad I took the courses with HR JetPack. This definitely played a huge role in my passing the SHRM-SCP test. Thanks, Mark and Christina!

Laytoamb Wiggins

I had a great experience with HR Jetpack... HR Jetpack delivered on its promise of being there when needed and providing a structured learning arena that anyone would feel comfortable in. Thanks again HR Jetpack!!

Heidi McMillon

SHRM-CP

Jetpack was amazing! The books and classes, along with the great support and instruction made it possible for me to succeed passing SHRM-CP exam! Highly recommended!

Maggie Harich Diede

SHRM-CP

I did a lot of research about the SHRM-CP credential before deciding to go that route. Once I made that decision the obvious next choice was how was I going to achieve it. HR Jetpack received so many positive reviews i decided to enroll with them.

Right from the get go I was happy with my decision! The 4 books came in the mail the very next day and I started reading to get ahead. The online class with Mark was a definite huge benefit - not only was it interesting to be taking a remote, online class with a real instructor and other classmates, but the fact that the sessions were recorded was a real bonus. I referred back to class sessions periodically throughout the duration of the course (and after). Christina provided lots of encouragement via the Facebook group and the daily questions and tips were relevant and very helpful. HR Jetpack definitely prepared me well to take and pass the exam - I am really glad I enrolled with them!

Carmen A Ochoa

SHRM-CP

I passed my CP exam thanks to... HR Jetpack. The classes were so helpful because we practiced answering questions on both SCP and CP levels and we talked about the reasoning behind it, which helped me understand why the right answer was the best answer. Thank you HR Jetpack!

Gloria Castellon

SHRM-CP

I can not imagine passing this SHRM-CP certification without the dedication and support of Jetpack's team... The care and attention given to me felt personalized. This is NOT a test you will pass by memorizing words or formulas. You need to really understand the meaning of each term... Best of Luck to everyone taking the exam. If you are thinking of taking the exam...think no more; Just do it ! you will never regret this decision.

Tiffany O'Sullivan-Jardim

SHRM-CP

Passed my CP test on the first try! It's a very dense course and I was unfamiliar with a lot of the information beforehand, but Kelly was an awesome instructor who kept the classes interesting and had great tips to help solidify principles. I'm confident I would not have passed without the course.

Lisa Rousselle

SHRM-SCP

I just passed the SCP exam on the first try!!!! Thank you HR Jetpack, Kelly is a great instructor, personable and knowledgeable and passes on her insight to those in her class. The slides as well as her notes were an integral part of my study prep for the test. Good luck to everyone out there studying!! You got this!

Kimberely Carter

I would recommend HR Jetpack because it provided guidance on what to study and how to study. Learning the SHRM mindset and how to apply the mindset was key. There was a wealth of information and it was overwhelming with guidance. I couldn't imagine doing it on my own.

Jen Dinneen

Ensures you are fully prepared with everything you will need to pass your test. HR Jetpack was worth every cent!

Iris N. Estrada

SHRM-CP

HR Jetpack gave me the confidence I needed in taking the SHRM-CP exam. The test was difficult but with HR Jetpack on my side I felt less nervous and had confidence that the course gave me all I needed to pass!

Joshua Hurd

This is a phenomenal prep program to prepare yourself for both the SHRM -SCP/CP equally. The online class recordings are led by experienced industry professionals and are great for individuals like myself that require flexibility in learning schedules. Additionally, the study group you are invited to join via Facebook will send daily test sample questions out as well as provide the answer logic to help place you in the mindset of a SHRM professional. Constant community support and engagement helped me prepare and succeed in becoming SHRM certified!

Alisha Sibert

SHRM-CP

I passed the SHRM-CP exam on my first try and a big thanks goes to HR Jetpack, and Kelley Kozik for her insight, tips and thorough explanation of the concepts. The training materials that HR Jetpack provided, practice quizzes and post assessments were extremely helpful to prepare for test day. I would recommend HR Jetpack for anyone who is preparing for the exam.

Ashley Bayne Leckie

HR Jetpack was a great program that allows flexibility for anyone pursuing certification to study live in a virtual classroom, or on demand. The only deterrent may be cost for those folks with financial hardship, who may not be able to obtain sponsorship for certification prep through an employer. Christina and Cheryl are a wealth of knowledge, and their dedication to others' success shows through prep materials. Unfortunately, there were many significant changes I navigated at work in the midst of my prep class schedule, but I was able to print materials, listen to recordings, and review the SHRM LMS around my obligations. I originally was going to take my exam in December, 2019 but ended up postponing until this month to make sure I could focus on extreme studying the few weeks before testing. I passed the SHRM-SCP yesterday, and still can't believe it! I recommend HR Jetpack to any HR pros who are pursuing SHRM certification.

D'Andrea West

I would highly recommend HR JetPack's SHRM readiness/exam prep course. The resources are tremendous and their desire to see everyone succeed is quite evident... I'm glad I made the personal investment, it made all the difference in me passing. Thanks to all....

Deneasa Stephens

I would definitely recommend HR Jetpack to prepare for your SHRM Certification. I am so happy that I made the investment in myself, to ensure that I fully understand my role as an HR Professional... I did not need any additional study materials other than what was provided by HR Jetpack to prepare for the examination. Thank You!

Jessie Van Dyke

HR Jetpack was amazing in helping me pass my exam! They have a great structure to lead you through the material and support you with lots of practice questions and an instructor you can email for clarification. I will be recommending them to anyone I know taking the exam! Thank you so much HR Jetpack!

Meredith Deutsch

SHRM-SCP

I took the class from March 19 to May 19 to help me prep for the SHRM-SCP. Tina Bowles was a great instructor. The best part of the class was that I could do it from home. No rushing to a place after a full day of work. I could hook up at the dining room table. The class definitely helped me to pass my exam and get through the books. Tina's reviewing each topic was very helpful and Christina's tips on this page are great too!

I am very excited to share that I have cleared the SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SCP) exam! I believe, both personally and professionally this certification is a significant milestone in my career as an HR professional.

I would like to thank Christina A. Danforth, SHRM-SCP, SPHR for creating the HR Jetpack platform and providing the necessary tools and resources to help me prepare for this exam.

For those who are considering taking the SHRM SCP exam, I highly recommend it. The process is challenging but rewarding, and the certification is a testament to your commitment to the HR profession.

HR Jetpack is well organized and really helped me with preparing for my HR Certification. I would recommend this course to all HR Professionals looking to obtain their SHRM Certification. I received my pass because of the HR Jetpack program!
