What makes the DOH exam different

  • DOH does not publish the nursing exam's question count or pass mark; we train to 70% on a 150-question, 3-hour mock.
  • Exams are delivered by Pearson VUE, not Prometric.
  • UAE attempts are shared with DHA, MOHAP and SHA.

Your road to a DOH licence

  1. 1
    Check eligibility

    Confirm your nursing title (Registered Nurse, Assistant Nurse or Midwife) against the regulator's professional requirements.

  2. 2
    Apply and start DataFlow

    Create your application on TAMM, the Abu Dhabi government portal. DataFlow verifies your degree, licence and experience directly with the issuing bodies.

  3. 3
    Prepare and reach 70% readiness

    Study, then take timed mocks in this exam's format until your readiness score passes 70%.

  4. 4
    Book and sit the exam

    Book through the Pearson VUE link that appears in your TAMM account once your eligibility is issued. The result is posted as Pass or Fail.

  5. 5
    Get your licence and job

    With a pass and a clean DataFlow report, your licence is activated when an employer hires you.

  • ✓ Pace yourself: about 1 minute 10 seconds per question on a 150-question, 3-hour paper.
  • ✓ Flag hard questions and come back; never leave a question blank, there is no negative marking.
  • ✓ Bring the exact ID used for booking; arrive 30 minutes early.

Questions nurses ask
