##### How Long Can I Wait Before Submitting My Application for my Certification?

You have about 30 days from the date you have received your examination result email notification to submit the certification application form (the completed Application Form and Checklist) with fees or can we take more time?

Technically yes it is, but if you need more time due to pressing work commitments, please liaise with the certification officer directly, or email [certification@bcm-institute.org](https://blog.bcm-institute.org/certification/certification@bcm-institute.org), and we will discuss how much time we could extend usually its no more than 60 days which is a maximum of another 2 months on a case-to-case basis.
