The TQC & TQAC exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions and 10 essay questions. TIEMS International Certification - TQC is valid for three (3) years.

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. |
