DOH Exam Dates
Department of Health, Abu Dhabi: how the exam date is set, how to book it and what happens either side of it.
Pearson VUE slots booked through TAMM after exam approval
Booking is unlocked by: Exam approval and the TAMM pre-booking payment
How DOH exam dates work
DOH's Health Professionals Licensing Department (HPLD) reviews your file and approves you for the exam. You then pay the pre-booking fee in TAMM, and a link to Pearson VUE appears in your TAMM account. There is no single published exam day: the date is the slot you choose in Pearson VUE's scheduling system.
Our timeline data puts Abu Dhabi slots at typically 2 to 6 weeks out. Consultants may also face an interview panel, usually scheduled 2 to 4 weeks after the exam pass.
How to book the DOH exam
- 1
Open your file on TAMM or Riayati
Individuals start the professional file on TAMM; sponsoring facilities usually submit through Riayati. Both feed the same evaluation queue.
- 2
Clear Dataflow verification
DOH will not approve you for the exam until primary source verification of your qualification, experience and Good Standing is complete.
- 3
Get exam approval and pay in TAMM
Once HPLD approves your application for the exam, pay the DOH pre-booking fee in TAMM. After payment, a link to Pearson VUE is activated under the action menu in your TAMM account.
- 4
Book your Pearson VUE slot
Follow the link from your TAMM account to your Pearson VUE page and choose the date, time and test centre from the slots on offer. In Abu Dhabi, slots are typically 2 to 6 weeks out. Print the booking confirmation and bring it on exam day, and check spam folders for emails from @pearson.com.

Sit the exam, then any panel
Bring the passport you used at booking and your appointment confirmation, and arrive 30 minutes early. Personal items go into a locker. Consultants who need an interview panel are usually scheduled 2 to 4 weeks after the exam pass.
