TMMi Professional

The TMMi Professional certification is aimed at anyone involved in using the TMMi ⤴ model.

This includes people in roles such 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.

Procedure of the TMMi Professional exam

The TMMi Professional exam is comprised of 40 multiple-choice questions. Each correctly answered question is worth one point. A score of at least 65% (26 or more points) is required to pass.

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.
