What is Certificate Management?

Certificate Management

Certificate management involves registering, verifying, and tracking certificates and related documentation. The overview can show who holds a qualification, who issued it, and whether it is still valid. The purpose is to support the planning and monitoring of competency requirements.

Overview of Validity and Renewal

The administration pertains to the tracking of documents, not the actual assessment that leads to certification. The overview can link certificates to individuals and competency requirements. Expiration dates and renewal depend on the specific program. A registered document therefore does not become valid simply because it has been uploaded to a system.

Example: Certificate Management

A manager notices that a certificate is about to expire. The employee completes the necessary renewal, and new documentation is registered. The overview displays the updated status associated with the role. The administration thus provides a basis for staffing planning, while the terms of the certificate follow the relevant program.
