Introduction: Contractor certifications

Record certifications in your contractor profiles using the certifications manager add-on. Once the add-on has been enabled, an employee with the Certifications Manager user role can manage your organization’s certification list.

How it works 

Use the certifications management add-on to:

  • Keep track of whether a contractor’s qualifications, certifications, and accreditations are current and verified 
  • Store documents linked to the certification in the contractor's profile 
  • Comply with workplace regulations
  • Monitor whether a contractor is permitted to carry out a task while on-site

There are two permission levels with the Certification Manager user role:

  • Global - users can add, update, and remove any certification. They view all certifications in the certifications report and verify certifications if this role is selected in the certification.
  • Limited - users can access certifications for a specific location or certification type. They can add, update, and remove any certification that meets these criteria, and view these certifications in the reporting. They can verify certifications if this role is selected in a specific certification.
Certifications are also available for employees.
