TM Forum’s online certification exams are based solely on the content covered in the related course.
Online participants will be simultaneously enrolled in both the exam and its related course unless the exam requires that a lower-level certification first be achieved in that subject e.g. Practitioners-Level exams will be enrolled only if the candidate has previously gained the related Fundamentals-Level certification.
The simultaneous enrolment of an exam and its course is to recognize that a participant’s subject matter knowledge might range from low to high, and therefore an enrolled exam will not require the related course to be completed in its entirety, even though it is strongly recommended, to maximize their chances of exam success.
For group / instructor-led trainings (ILT) the related exam will be enrolled in coordination with the group’s learning manager, as/if applicable.
