TQCTM Re-Certification | Upgrade from TQACTM to TQCTM Certification |
The TQC and TQAC candidates will have the same exam. The exam questions will focus on emergency management principles and practices reflected in the TQC & TQAC Examination Competence Framework and background knowledge reflected in the TQC & TQAC Candidate Certification Guide, which the candidate gets access to when logged into the TQC & TQAC Platform. The TQC & TQAC exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions and 10 essay questions. TIEMS International Certification - TQC is valid for three (3) years. TIEMS International Certification - TQAC is a one time Certification which can be upgraded to TQC Certification. |
TQC Certification is awarded for a three-year period, with re-certification efforts required prior to the end of the third year. The TQC & TQAC Certification Board will notify the TQC-certified person at the beginning of their third year, asking them to submit the TQC Re-Certification Form if he/she intends to maintain his/her certification. The TQC & TQAC Compliance Board will then evaluate the TQC-certified person’s experience, activity, and education/training during the 3 years TQC Certification period, and, if they continue to be qualified, issues a TQC Re-Certification Certificate, or asks the candidate to take the TQC Re-Certification Exam. In the latter case, the evaluation will follow the same procedure, but simpler, as with a new TQC Certification. |
