Retake Policy

DHA's Manual for Licensing Healthcare Professionals allows three attempts with no restriction on the duration between attempts. Failing the third attempt blocks DHA reapplication for two years; the unified PQR then permits one final attempt with a different UAE authority, or with DHA itself if the applicant declares no failed attempts with any other UAE regulator. Three new attempts become available after obtaining an additional PQR-recognized qualification or completing two years of licensed clinical experience after the last attempt, and one extra attempt may be granted when applying for a lower title whose PQR requirements are met. A cancellation or no-show is not a failed attempt but is not refunded.
