How to use it

Your first 15 minutes

Begin with The Credential and Training Field Guide. Follow the four steps in order, ending with recording completions and training hours the week they happen.

  1. Start with the key idea on page 2 of the Field Guide. Spend fifteen minutes understanding how a credential lapse can affect coverage and how to plan for renewals sixty days in advance.

  2. Build your list once in the Credential Tracker, with one row per item per caregiver. Copy the details from your existing files, use the Common Items tab as your starter library, and confirm requirements with your licensing contact.

  3. Set the amber As of date and your Due soon window. Post the reminder sequence where scheduling happens so all three touches follow the same process every time.

  4. Log completions and training hours the week they happen. Use the Summary tab for your quarterly review: expired credentials at zero, due-soon renewals booked, and training hours on pace.
