Your organization’s growth and success rely on effectively designed and executed sales compensation plans that help accomplish your sales strategies.
Obtaining a CSCP signifies that you have the knowledge, experience and critical skills needed to influence and negotiate tactics within a sales compensation strategy to ensure alignment with an organization’s business plan and long-term vision.
The CSCP designation is competency-based and achieved by passing one comprehensive exam based on experience in the field and the overall sales compensation Body of Knowledge (BOK). The Body of Knowledge represents the complete set of concepts, terms and activities that make up the profession.
Individuals interested in pursuing this designation should review the body of knowledge to gain an understanding of the concepts that will be covered on the exam. WorldatWork offers sales compensation resources including practice exams to help you prepare for the exam.
Global 500 companies rely on WorldatWork certifications to power their employee rewards, engagement and retention efforts. The CSCP is backed by our 65+ years of experience in workplace rewards education and research.
Our exam content taps the insights and experiences of expert practitioners and experienced consultants.
94% of our customers report increased confidence and 96% note enhanced effectiveness at work as reported by WorldatWork’s Impact Survey.
The CSCP is beneficial for compensation professionals, HR professionals and sales operations professionals with responsibility for any aspect of sales compensation in their organization. This may include those in management, designs and administration of sales compensation plans, communication and implementation of sales compensation plans, and evaluation and analysis of sales compensation effectiveness. We recommend that CSCP candidates are proficient in each of the key knowledge domains of sales compensation and have one to two years of experience.
The CSCP designation is competency-based and achieved by passing one comprehensive exam based on experience in the field and the overall sales compensation Body of Knowledge (BOK). In preparation for the exam, review the Body of Knowledge. WorldatWork also offers sales compensation courses, and Practice Exams to test your readiness.
This 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 CSCP designation is achieved by passing one comprehensive competency-based exam while other designations — like the Certified Compensation Professional, Global Remuneration Professional and Certified Benefits Professional certifications — require passing multiple specific curriculum-based exams.
WorldatWork recommends candidates have one to two 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 CSCP Body of Knowledge, which represents the complete set of knowledge and skills required for professionals working in the field.
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.
There are 110-160 questions on the competency-based exams.
The courses and exams listed above can earn you credits to recertify additional WorldatWork certifications.
