What Types of Certifications Can You Track?

    If your organization requires it, Volunteer Tracker can track it — each with its own renewal schedule.

    • Background checks (with renewal dates)
    • SafeSport / abuse-prevention training
    • Concussion & sudden cardiac arrest training (state-mandated)
    • CPR / First Aid / AED certifications
    • Role-specific training completions
    • Custom certifications (any external training your org requires)

    How Certification Tracking Works

    From requirement to real-time compliance in three steps.

    1

    Define Requirements by Role

    Define which certifications are required for each volunteer role across your organization.

    2

    Volunteers Upload Proof

    Volunteers upload proof of completion; admins review and approve each submission.

    3

    Track Compliance in Real Time

    Your dashboard shows real-time compliance status, and automated alerts fire before anything expires.
