Tanium Certified Professional Endpoint Management (TCPEM)

It’s for someone who has about 1-2 years of hands-on IT operational experience in an enterprise environment and 6-12 months using Tanium. The candidate should already hold the TCO (Tanium Certified Operator) certification.

• The certification validity period is typically 2 years (as with most Tanium credentials)—you’ll probably need to re-certify after that. (Official policy may confirm this.)
• If you don’t pass, there may be a waiting period before you can retake. You’ll want to check the current Tanium Candidate Handbook for the retake policy.

• Validates your ability to manage and maintain endpoints using Tanium in a structured, efficient way.
• Helps your credibility for operational roles (systems administration, endpoint management) in organizations using Tanium.
• Demonstrates you can not only observe endpoints but also enforce policies, remediate, and keep systems patched and performing well.

• Complete the recommended training (WBTs or the Instructor-Led Training for Endpoint Management). 
• Practice with Tanium modules related to deployment, discovery, patching, enforcement, and performance.
• Study the exam blueprint carefully, focusing on the heavier content areas.
• Get hands-on experience with real or simulated endpoint-management tasks.

Here’s how the exam blueprint divides up the content:

• Prerequisites / foundational skills (≈ 18%) — scenarios like determining what data is needed for use cases, creating target groups, access control. 
• Configuration (≈ 30%) — creating/modifying endpoint management reports, setting up configurations, configuring Tanium modules, external dependencies. 
• Taking Action (≈ 27%) — interpreting module data, exporting data, deploying configurations, integrating third-party tools. 
• Maintenance (≈ 25%) — collecting troubleshooting data, analyzing that data, remediating affected endpoints.

The exam has 60 total score points, composed of multiple-choice questions and practical application items. The seat time is 105 minutes.

You’ll be tested on areas including: asset management, patch management, performance, system configuration, discovery of endpoints, enforcement (configurations/updates), deploying configurations, troubleshooting, etc.

The TCPEM Exam (Exam Code: TAN-5000) is a certification that tests your ability to manage, report on, and administer Tanium’s endpoint management-focused modules. It’s aimed at operational effectiveness—things like performance, patching, configuration, asset discovery, etc.

You should be familiar with:

• Operating systems fundamentals (how endpoints are managed/configured/updated). 
• Patch and configuration management workflows. 
• Asset discovery and performance monitoring under Tanium. 
• Systems and network management basics.

• Must have passed the TCO certification. 
• Recommended training: Working with Tanium: Endpoint Management ILT or corresponding Web Based Trainings (WBTs).
