Path To Distinguished Toastmaster

The Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) is the highest designation given to an individual for completing an entire education Path. The path to DTM can be completed in as little as 2 to 8 years, depending on time and commitment. Going through the entire DTM track does not only earn you a designation but several skills are learned along the way.

If you are ready to submit your DTM, you can use the official form provided by Toastmasters located here: https://www.toastmasters.org/-/media/fc8aa8f51f85433a96a96bb8c154a52c.ashx
