TMMi Professional
The TMMi Professional certification is aimed at anyone involved in using the TMMi model.
This includes people in roles such as as test process improvers, test consultants, TMMi (lead-)assessors, business stakeholders, test managers, and members of a Test Process Group.
TMMi Professionals are individuals who have demonstrated an understanding of the TMMi model and its application to a standard defined in the TMMi Professional syllabus. In order to illustrate this, candidates must pass a formal exam.

Candidates have up to one hour to complete the exam if doing so in their native language. Candidates taking the exam in a language other than their native language are allowed an additional 25% (15 minutes), giving a total duration of 75 minutes. The TMMi Professional exam is available in the following languages: English, Spanish, French, Chinese.
