Certification & Exam

Certification Process for HERMES (Foundation & Advanced)

After you learn the HERMES method (either via a 2-3 day course or self-study), you can register for the HERMES certification exam through TÜV SÜD Examination Institute.

To become eligible for HERMES Foundation certification you must:

  • Have basic knowledge of project management and the HERMES framework.

  • (Training is recommended but not strictly mandatory.)

  • Register and take the Foundation exam: 40 multiple-choice questions, 60 minutes.

After you pass the exam you receive a personal HERMES Foundation certificate from TÜV SÜD. The certificate has unlimited validity.

If you later aim for HERMES Advanced certification, you register for a separate exam (often after taking advanced training). The advanced exam has two parts: first, a multiple-choice section (30 questions), second, multiple-choice questions based on practical project-situations (15 questions). Each part lasts 60 minutes.

Upon passing that exam, you receive the HERMES Advanced certificate from TÜV SÜD. Certificates issued since 2020 have a validity of 5 years.

What You Will Achieve

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Confidently apply the structure and principles of the HERMES method

  • Select and use appropriate standard scenarios

  • Assign and implement the key roles and modules in a project

  • Build a project organization according to HERMES

  • Develop custom scenarios based on real project requirements

  • Prepare effectively for the Foundation certification exam
