Applicability
The current official program page adopts this handbook; its scheduling section names RTPM-v2-2-2026. No official effective/retirement dates for the examination, route or credential were published. Null dates do not assert universal historical applicability; current adoption supports the fixed 2026-10-26 evaluation date.
Application
Eligibility must be met at submission. Submit the completed online application, current resume/CV and applicable qualification documents through BICSI Navigator, with the nonrefundable application fee. Allow 30 days for approval; BICSI does not preapprove experience before submission. Approved candidates receive an authorization letter with candidate ID, first-attempt voucher and scheduling instructions. Eligibility lasts one year from approval.
Award
Pass the single computer-based knowledge examination; the certificate and digital credential follow. No additional practical, oral, writing or inspection-plan examination is specified in the complete current initial-certification process.

Policies
Applicable sanctions, exam guidelines, truthfulness, the BICSI Code of Ethics and Professional Obligations, and prohibitions on unauthorized materials, AI assistance and proxy testing apply. The initial application fee includes the first exam attempt. Failure entails retest fees and a 30-day waiting period; after the third failure a 90-day period applies, subject to valid eligibility. Expired eligibility requires a new application.
Preparation
The manual, 125+ hours of study, PM101/PM102/PM103 and study aid are suggested resources, not mandatory attendance in this current initial route. Existing certifications in option 1 are applicant qualifications, not additional exam sittings newly required by RTPM.
Scheduling
BICSI approval precedes a Pearson appointment. Supply matching legal name, candidate ID, sponsor BICSI, the approved RTPM-v2-2-2026 examination, preferred date/time/location and voucher. An unexpired original government-issued photo ID with signature and a secondary ID are required. Accommodation requests and supporting documentation must reach BICSI at least 30 days before the examination. English is the requested scope; the Japan chapter confirms English availability but does not establish US remote-testing entitlement.
