TMI certifications are structured around the TMI Talent Management Body of Knowledge (TMBoK™) — a globally recognized framework that defines the standards, principles, and practices of professional Talent Management.

While TMI does not provide a detailed curriculum or training plan (as it is not a training provider), you can explore the key knowledge domains and competencies covered in each certification directly on the TMI Certifications for Professionals page.

These domains include areas such as:

  • Talent strategy and workforce planning
  • Performance and succession frameworks
  • Leadership development
  • Organizational culture and change enablement

Upon enrollment, candidates receive the TMI Resource Box, which includes the printed study material aligned with the TMBoK™ and the specific certification they have selected. These resources are designed exclusively for TMI certification preparation and are not available for public sale.
