Each individual course is 9 effective hours + breaks + a few hours of self-study + exam (live online version), usually taking three afternoons (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday); and 13 hours + breaks + exam (two days, Thursday and Friday) for the onsite/in-person version.
Self-study online option (e-learning with videos) can be done at leisure during 120 calendar days of permitted online course access.
In any case, each course can be taken separately and in different formats, according to specific practitioner needs. Exam time is to be freely scheduled for each exam in all cases (up to 120 calendar days after course and exam registration).

Aimed at evincing and giving internal and external recognition to superior practice and expertise in Sales Compensation, the CSCP ® helps practitioners gain the skills to design, administer, evaluate and manage Sales Compensation programs, and the confidence to communicate their strategy and operation to the organization.
Content ranges from salesforces analysis and configurations, sales processes, roles, structure and quota definition, to the technical design and deployment of different Compensation, Commissions and Incentive schemes (levels, targets, payout scales, accelerations) - under a number of business scenarios depending on markets and products/services/solutions, pricing models, direct vs. indirect sales and channels, long term vs. short-term sale, salesforce people / roles / careers, etc.

Certifications and Courses: Additional Information
Certifications and courses are delivered in a virtual classroom online accessible from anywhere, or in an in-person classroom from/in the DACH region (Zurich, Switzerland), in easy-to-follow English language. There is also a self-study option (e-learning with video instructors) for GRP ®.
Instructors are senior certified professionals with deep Rewards / Mobility expertise in international companies, with ample communication skills and experience in Continental Europe and the DACH region (Germany, Switzerland, Austria). We are proud to consistently get praise as top experts and instructors by our attendees.
Delivery is done 1) live and interactively online (virtual classroom initiated with a Zoom link), 2) face-to-face in Zurich (actual classroom); or 3) with a self-paced e-learning subscription (no live instructor in this case; just supported by a 1 h. personal Q&A session).
Advantage of alternatives (1) and (2) is direct interaction with instructor and peers and best practice exchange; alternative 3) offers no instructor / peer contact in exchange for more freedom to take the course on your own at leisure, anywhere, during the allowed time (120 calendar days).
In all cases, the participants receive access to the private section of the WorldatWork online platform where they can download the course materials, see what courses and exams were taken as needed, and with an internal link to a special website, schedule and then take required exams online.
Some Participants just decide to take one or two courses of their particular interest for development and learning, and not go directly for certification - but the majority of Participants indeed go on to pursue the full GRP ® or CSCP ® certifications as a worldwide trademark of excellence in the profession and for career purposes and aspirations.
