In order to track whether an employee has a particular certification and whether that needs to be renewed or not using Workaware you can add information under the “Certificates & Training” tab of their profile.
You can add certifications that an employee has or is in the process of receiving.
An employee can have multiple records for the same course, for example for a certification that needs periodic renewal. In this case their expiration date for a particular company course will be based on the latest expiration date.
Currently this capability is only available in Workaware for desktop.
Note that in order to associate employee certificates with courses that are tracked internally by your company you need to enter your recognized course types in Company Settings. See Add course types to your company account
