With Mulhim, your CME hours are posted to your Mumaris Plus record within 24 to 48 business hours of completing a course. The clock starts when the course, including its assessment, is complete. Weekends and public holidays do not count, so plan a buffer before any renewal deadline.
What is the CME posting time in Mumaris Plus?
Posting is done on working days. A window of 24 to 48 business hours is roughly one to two working days after you finish. If you complete a course early in the working week, the entry usually appears within that week. If you finish late on the last working day, the weekend sits in between and the entry follows on the next working days. Public holidays stretch the window in the same way.
Posting takes time, and you are not the one who does it. For activities inside the Kingdom, the provider posts your hours to your CPD record, and renewal reads that record. The whole route, from enrolling to the posted entry, is in how to register CME hours in Mumaris Plus.
The path from completion to your record
When to expect your hours
| You finish | What sits in between | When to check |
|---|---|---|
| Early in the working week | Working days only | Within the next two working days |
| On the last working day | The weekend | After the next two working days |
| Just before a public holiday | The holiday | Two working days after the holiday |
| Several courses on one day | Nothing extra | Same window for each course |
Why should you leave a buffer?
Renewal reads only posted hours. If you plan to apply on a certain date, the hours need to be in your record before it. Completing them is not enough on its own. A sensible rule is to finish your final course at least a full working week before you apply. That covers posting time, any weekend or holiday, and a short follow-up if an entry is missing.
You can apply to renew from three months before your registration period ends, and a late fine applies from 31 days after it ends. Finishing early in that window removes posting time from the list of things that can go wrong.
What does the timing look like for a whole bundle?
Take a physician with a 60-hour target who has 20 hours posted. The gap is 40, which is eight Mulhim courses. If she finishes two courses a week, each pair posts within 24 to 48 business hours, so her record keeps pace with her and she can see the total climb week by week. After four weeks all eight are done, and the last pair posts within the next two working days.
Now take a technician who needs 20 hours and leaves all four courses to one evening, the last working day before a planned application. The weekend sits in between, so nothing appears until the following working days. His application waits. The hours are the same in both cases. Only the timing differs.
Which habits add avoidable delay?
- Leaving the assessment for later. The clock starts only when the whole course is complete.
- Finishing everything on the last working day. The weekend adds days you did not plan for.
- Checking only the total. With several courses posted together, look for each entry by name.
- Waiting weeks before chasing a missing entry. Once the window has passed, contact the provider.
If you are already close to your date, the last-minute CME plan shows how to fit posting time into a short run.
What to do while you wait
- Download your certificate from the dashboard and save it.
- Note the provider name, the activity approval number and the activity date.
- Check your CPD record once the window has passed, counting working days only.
- If the entry is still missing, contact the provider. If that does not resolve it, raise a Tawasul ticket with SCFHS with those three details.
Start early with accredited hours
Every Mulhim course is SCFHS accredited and gives 5 CME hours. Mulhim is fully accredited. Each bundle gives 6 months of access, so you can spread courses out and let each one post well before renewal.
Once the window has passed, check your CME balance in Mumaris Plus. If an entry is still missing, read why CME hours do not show in Mumaris Plus.

Talk to usFrequently asked questions
How long does CME posting take with Mulhim?
Within 24 to 48 business hours of completing the course.
When does the clock start?
When the whole course, including the assessment, is complete.
Do weekends count?
No. Business hours run on working days, so a weekend or public holiday moves the date later.
I finished several courses at once. What should I check?
Each course is a separate entry. Once the window has passed, confirm that every course appears in your CPD record.
Is the timing the same with other providers?
Not necessarily. Each provider sets its own posting timing, and 24 to 48 business hours applies to Mulhim courses. If your hours come from several providers, ask each one and plan around the longest.
How much buffer should I leave before renewal?
Aim to finish your last course at least a full working week before you apply.
