For details, refer to Certification Upload. Once certification records have been added, users can access the different certification/license pages through the appropriate Action Items.

If a certification type does not exist in the Certification Types reference table then it is automatically added to the reference table with next available number. In addition, if a certification area does not exist in the Certification Areas reference table then it is automatically added to the reference table with the next available number.
