Compensation Analyst Credential (CAC)

Applying for a new job in Human Resources? Or have you recently taken on new duties in compensation planning?

ERI Distance Learning Center's Compensation Analyst Credential (CAC) designation is a convenient way to learn the fundamentals of this discipline without ever leaving the office. This online credential teaches the basics of salary planning and administration. By earning a CAC you will prove to employers that you have demonstrated expertise in the field of compensation. Employers will know that you have received high-quality training in the most fundamental areas of salary planning.

Earning your CAC:

• Promotes career advancement
• Education without the time, expense, and inconvenience of travel
• Work at your own pace from anywhere you have an Internet connection
• Easily fits into your busy schedule
• Get HRCI and SHRM recertification credit simultaneously at no additional cost

CAC Requirements

In order to earn a CAC you must complete 12 courses and pass their exams for CAC credit. A passing score requires a grade of at least 80% on the final exam (8 out of 10 questions answered correctly). You may retake a course's CAC exam as many times as necessary in order to pass - you will not get the same questions every time. (There is no charge for retaking an exam, either to get a pass or to get a different type of credit.)
