CMLE Frequently Asked Questions

---

The CMLE course and examination are held entirely online.

Individuals are able to submit two IME reports before the course begins or 6 months after the examination date. Individuals will not receive their examination result until after their IME reports have been reviewed.

The CMLE course and examination is held on a platform called Freestone. An individual taking the course will be emailed login information to access the course on the platform. The course is not available to be downloaded. Login information will be emailed the Friday before the course begins.

The CMLE course consists of pre-recorded videos and PowerPoints. The individual will have the opportunity to go through the course at their own pace during the week of the course.

There are two live sessions over the course of the week. The Welcome Session introduces the team and introduction to the course. The other session is a Q&A Session which consists of a panel of experts to answer questions related to the course. 

None of the live sessions are mandatory to complete the CMLE course. We do recommend attending as it will be very beneficial and an opportunity to learn from industry experts.

The exam will be proctored. Individuals taking the exam must join a Zoom call 30 minutes before so their ID can be checked. Individuals taking the exam must leave their video on and have their audio muted for the duration of the exam.

The examination will take 3 hours to complete. Individuals can request accommodation but must email it to certification@cmle.com the Thursday before the examination for review.
