Certification
WorldatWork Society of Certified Professionals, an affiliate of WorldatWork , administers the exams required for attaining the prestigious Certified Compensation Professional (CCP®), the Certified Benefits Professional® (CBP), Global Remuneration Professional (GRP®) and the new Work-Life Certified Professional (WLCP®) designations. Society serves as an elite member-based networking association for individuals who have completed the rigorous certification programs, and renews upon recertification. There are no annual dues associated with membership, which is not connected to WorldatWork membership.
Current practices and applicability drive certification program design. Using emerging developments in the field and feedback from past participants, the programs are continuously refined in response to the changes and challenges that impact each professional area.
The Value of Certification
Certification speaks volumes about who you are as a professional. By completing our certification programs, you establish yourself as being committed to remaining on the leading edge of your profession. Increasingly, job listings are specifying CCP, CBP, GRP or WLCP preferred employees. Whether on your business card, letterhead or resume, your designation signals that you meet the highest levels of professional performance.
How to Get Certified
All designations are earned by passing the required certification examinations administered through WorldatWork Society of Certified Professionals. Each exam consists of approximately 100 multiple-choice questions based on the Body of Knowledge. While it is not necessary, most candidates take the certification exam following the corresponding two-day exam preparation course offered by WorldatWork. The two-day preparation courses are offered throughout the United States, Canada and internationally, providing instruction in the functional areas comprising the Body of Knowledge associated with compensation, benefits and total rewards management practice.
