The EMCI™ certification offers two type of examinations, namely the EMCF™ certification examination and the EMCP™ certification examination. While the EMCF™ examination emphasizes the fundamental aspects of engineering management, the EMCP™ examination leans toward the empirical knowledge, skills of engineering management.

Each exam is comprised of 150 multiple-choice questions. Although both exams share the same Body of Knowledge (EMC-BOK™) , the guidelines representing difficulty and knowledge area are different for each type of test. See the table below:

• 70% correct on overall questions
  with no less than 50% correct answers in any one domain.

The cut point represents the minimum application level of the knowledge and task skills needed for competent engineering management. While the representation of knowledge and task skills as well as the difficulty level may be modified among different examinations, the cut point will remain the same on every EMCI™ Certification examination.
