Any individual may become an accredited consultant on an aspect of the TM Forum technical work by meeting the following criteria:

1. You must belong to a TM Forum member organization.
2. You must either:
   1. Be active in the appropriate technical team
   2. Have successfully attended an approved TM Forum training course in that topic
3. You must pass an exam for that particular technical topic.
4. Your application must be approved by the TM Forum Approvals Committee, which is comprised of a combination of members of the TM Forum Board of Directors and key technical team participants.

Our web-based process will take you through each step of the certification process.

You will be asked to identify your company, and their membership in the TM Forum will be validated. You may only use your company email address as a contact point, so that we can correctly validate your membership. (click here for the list of member companies)

You will be asked to identify exactly which TM Forum training course you have taken, and/or which technical teams you have been participating in, and what significant contributions you have made to those teams.

You will be asked to pay for (see costs) and take a web-based test on your chosen topic or topics. The test for each topic consists of a set of 40 randomly selected questions, which have been prepared by a team of experts, and validated and approved by the TM Forum.

Each time you sit the test you must complete it in one session. You may not save some of your answers and come back subsequently. Therefore we strongly recommend that you reserve approximately 2 hours in order to complete the test.

In order to pass this test you must achieve an 85% score. Samples of the questions and answers are available here.

Once you have passed the test all of your information will be confirmed within the TM Forum, and a recommendation for accreditation will be sent to the TM Forum Approvals committee. The feedback of the approvals committee will be provided to you within two weeks of your completion of the online information.
