How long is my TDM exam result valid for and how many times can I take the exam?

Posted June 4, 2020

Candidates have a maximum of 4 TDM exam attempts, which includes a maximum of 2 pass results. Candidates who receive a fail result are ineligible to apply to the next scheduled examination session, since the TDM exam cannot be taken in consecutive sessions.

A pass result will be valid for 3 years. For more information on TDM exam results or validity periods, visit the MCC’s TDM Examination Results.
