How does the CECP designation differ from other WorldatWork Society designations?
This specialty certification combines knowledge and skills based on experience in the field and the industry standard body of knowledge that is required for individual and business success.
The CECP designation is achieved by passing one comprehensive competency-based exam while other designations like the Certified Compensation Professional® (CCP®), Global Remuneration Professional (GRP®), Certified Benefits Professional® (CBP), and Work-Life Certified Professional® (WLCP®) certifications require passing multiple specific curriculum-based exams.
Do I need experience in the field before I take the CECP exam?
WorldatWork Society recommends CECP candidates have three or more years of experience. As a competency-based exam, there is no single prep course that covers all the content in the exam. You should review the comprehensive CECP Body of Knowledge which represents the complete set of knowledge and skills required for professionals working in the field.
How can I test my readiness for the CECP exam?
WorldatWork offers practice exams to help you get familiar with the types of questions asked in all knowledge areas within the exam. Practice exams offer an easy way to test your readiness by assessing your strengths and weaknesses, and help identify knowledge gaps where you may need additional study or experience.
How many questions are there on a competency-based exam?
There are 110-160 questions on the competency-based exams.
