WorldatWork Society of Certified Professionals Announces Certification Program Changes

Certified Compensation Professional (CCP®)
Recognized as the world’s standard since 1976, the Certified Compensation Professional (CCP) designation is known throughout the rewards community as a mark of expertise and excellence in all areas of compensation.

The new CCP program, taking effect Jan. 1, 2010, will require a passing score on nine exams. Electives will be phased out.
