SCFHS Exam Dates

Saudi Commission for Health Specialties. Who decides the date, what has to be finished before you can book, and how the booking is made.

How the date is set

Prometric slot booked with an Eligibility ID

What you need before booking: An Eligibility ID from Mumaris+

Who sets the SCFHS exam date

Everything for Saudi Arabia runs through Mumaris+. The Commission classifies you, verification confirms your documents, and when both are done it issues an Eligibility ID. The Prometric exam is booked with that ID, so for the licensing route the date is the appointment you secure, not a sitting the Commission announces.

Seats in the large Saudi cities are in heavy demand. A centre in your home country or elsewhere in the region can be the quicker option, so book as soon as the ID is active. For planning, the SCFHS timeline on this site lists the exam step as: as soon as ready; Riyadh slots fill 2 – 3 months out. Treat that as typical, not promised.

Open slots move every day and no two centres show the same ones. Before you book flights or hand in notice, look at what your Prometric account and the SCFHS portal actually show. Page last reviewed .

Booking the SCFHS exam, in order

  1. 1

    Build your Mumaris+ profile

    Register on Mumaris+ and upload your documents. The whole application is handled online from here.

  2. 2

    Classification and Dataflow, side by side

    The Commission decides your professional grade while Dataflow verifies the documents behind it. Both have to finish.

  3. 3

    The Eligibility ID is issued

    Once classification and verification are complete the ID appears in Mumaris+.

  4. 4

    Reserve the Prometric seat

    Sign in to Prometric's website (or create an account), choose the programme for your regulator, then select a centre and one of the dates it shows as free. The exam fee is paid online at the same time. Choose the SCFHS programme when the booking system asks which exam you are taking.

  5. 5

    Test day

    Carry the same passport you registered with plus the appointment confirmation, and be at the centre about half an hour before your start time. Bags, phones and watches stay in a locker. Your Mumaris+ record updates after the result.

SCFHS exam dates: questions we are asked

Does SCFHS run the exam on fixed dates in 2026?

For the licensing route, no: you book a Prometric appointment with your Eligibility ID and the date is the slot you obtain. Some Commission examinations keep their own schedules, so confirm the exact paper and its arrangements in Mumaris+ before you plan around it.

Can I sit the SCFHS Prometric exam outside Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Prometric operates in most countries - Egypt, India, Pakistan, Philippines, Sudan, UAE all have SCFHS-authorised centres. Book through the Prometric SCFHS portal once your Eligibility ID is live.

How many attempts do I get at the exam?

There is no absolute cap, but after 3 failed attempts you may be required to complete additional structured preparation before your next sitting.
