Licensing authority: PECB Group Pte. Ltd.
Initial by examination
- Application Period
- Apply within 12 months of instructor-led course completion, or of self-study/eLearning purchase. Reopening an expired application case requires a written request and fee and does not preserve earlier conditions against changes.
- Award
- Pass this examination, sign the PECB Code of Ethics, and submit an application for review by PECB's Certification Department; approval permits downloading the certificate and digital badge. Training attendance alone yields a separate course-completion attestation.
- Experience
- No professional, MS audit/assessment or project experience is required. Foundation certificates are exempt from professional-reference and work-experience requirements.
- Requested Horizon
- 2026-11-25 through 2027-02-28: rolling published appointments or partner-arranged sessions, conditional on training completion, actual language/session availability and seats; no fixed date or guaranteed future seat is asserted.
- Scheduling
- For English online delivery, select the relevant course examination, English language, an available published session and a seat through myPECB and accept the exam rules/manual. Sessions are published bi-weekly; fully booked dates require another session. Paper-based delivery is arranged by the authorized training partner and is the same examination, not an alternative prerequisite examination. Be present 30 minutes early with valid identification and meet the online invigilation requirements.
- Training
- Complete the PECB CMMC Foundations training course before the exam. Classroom, live online, eLearning (possibly limited availability), and self-study are listed formats; classroom/live-online delivery is through authorized partners. There are no prerequisites to participate in the course. The handbook's generic footnote exempts non-ANAB-accredited programs from training, but its specific CMMC requisites expressly require this course and the current exam rules expressly preserve Foundation Certificate Program training requirements.
