Add a certification to an employee profile

Learn how to add certifications and upload a document to an employee profile. You need the Administrator user role to update an employee profile.

How it works

When you add a certification to a person’s profile you can record:

  • When the certification was achieved. Record this in the Valid From field.
  • When the certification expires or requires renewal. Record this in the Valid To field.
  • The certification number (if applicable). Within each certification type, the number for each certification must be unique. 
  • Any supporting documentation. 

You need to add the certification to your account before you can assign it to an employee.
