The Resource Box contains TMI’s flagship publication - The TMI Handbook for Practitioners, #Talentastic! and Talent & the Future of Work which serve as the essential reading designed to aid candidates in preparing for the GTML™ certification exam.
GTML™ certification exam can be scheduled online from the myTMI dashboard. TMI provides 180 days from the registration completion date for the candidates to earn their GTML™ credential. The candidates are required to prepare and take the exam within this 180-day period.

Generally, the questions appearing in TMI exams aim to check and validate examinees’ awareness and knowledge of the general frameworks of Talent Management, key practices and trends in 21st century Talent Management, and critical issues, challenges and opportunities in the discipline today. TMI exams, in keeping with the TMI Universal Knowledge Framework, steer clear of general Human Resource Management topics and stay focused on Talent Management. Examinees are expected to already be knowledgeable of Human Resources to prepare them for a more in-depth course in Talent Management.
TMI certification exams feature questions drawn from a wide selection of Talent Management areas, a knowledge in which the TMI body of knowledge defines as essential–to–have for individuals intending to be recognized and credentialed by TMI. The framework or scope of content and coverage of TMI exams is defined reasonably well by the TMI text prescribed for the GTML™ exam–takers – The Talent Management Handbook for Practitioners, Talentastic! and Talent & the Future of Work. More specifically, the following topics have been prescribed by the TMI Professional Certification Board in which the knowledge of examinees is tested:

| Total Number Of Questions | 60 |
A typical GTML™ exam includes a mix of Type A, Type B, and Type C questions for a total of 60 questions.
TYPE A- GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF CONCEPTS
Questions directly test the examinees' ability to correctly recollect principles
and generally accepted practices in contemporary Talent Management. The answers
to TYPE A questions will reflect examinees' awareness and comprehension of critical
Talent Management concepts as outlined in the TMI body of knowledge. There is only
one CORRECT answer to TYPE A questions, and examinees are scored only if the correct
options are selected.
TYPE B- ABILITY TO APPLY UNDERSTANDING & KNOWLEDGE
Type B questions directly test the examinees' ability to apply their understanding
of the concept of Talent Management in real life scenarios. The answers to TYPE
B questions will reflect examinees' capacities for critical analysis and gauging
Talent Management challenges. Answers will then measure examinees abilities for
devising approaches and resolutions to challenges with a high degree of success
and effectiveness. Type B questions have four answer choices and only one of these
four would be incorrect. The rest of the three of these answers would be principally
correct, but they represent varying levels of accuracy for each respective question.
The best of these three answers carries the maximum 10 marks, and the least suitable
receives 5 marks. The second correct answer with mid-level suitability carries 7.5
marks. Examinees have to choose only one of these four answer choices and they are
scored 0, 5, 7.5, or 10, depending on their choice of answer- option.
TYPE C- UNDERSTANDING OF ISSUES AND ELEMENTS OF PRACTICE IN GLOBAL CONTEXTS
Type C questions directly test the examinees ability to recollect and apply their
awareness and understanding of unique global concepts that directly relate to real-life
practices of Talent Management. Type C questions also have four answer choices and
only one of the four will be incorrect. The rest of the three of these answers would
be principally correct, but they represent varying levels of accuracy for each respective
question. The best of these three answers carries the maximum 10 marks, and the
least suitable receives 5 marks. The second correct answer with mid-level suitability
carries 7.5 marks. Examinees have to choose only one of these four answer choices
and they are scored 0, 5, 7.5, or 10, depending on their choice of answer- option.
The TMI exams aim to assess the candidate's potential and ability to effectively perform a breadth of Talent Management roles and functions in global organizations of all sizes and complexities. The TMI exam system evaluates this potential by testing the candidates' knowledge of Talent Management theory and practice and their ability to apply this knowledge to achieve excellence in their performance of the roles assigned to them. These exams are designed on standards derived from the TMI Standardized Knowledge Architecture for Practice Excellence.
TMI exams evaluate candidates on their knowledge of the principles, latest theories, techniques, tools, and best practices of Talent Management as laid out in TMI-UKF™. These exams expect that the professionals being assessed have intensively gone through the exclusive/ focused readings in the TMI Resource Box and maintain familiarity with the latest developments in Talent Management theories and practices by reading journals and books, listening to podcasts, and participating in professional development programs and events.
The decision to award a TMI credential is not solely based on an individual's score in the exam. While a score between 65-70% is considered to be passing, the TMI Professional Certification Board follows a benchmarking process that scales the actual scores of examinees on a particular section of the exam and compares them to the entire pool of examinees. This approach ensures that examinees from different regions are not affected by uncontrollable systemic or language barriers and that the certification award recommendation system follows an affirmative-action approach.
