Continuing Ed Tracker LIVE has two main components: the Administrative Back End and the User Front End. The Administrative Back End is for those in charge of tracking and managing employee licenses and the continuing education they receive. The User Front End is for the employee so that they can quickly log in to view the status of their licenses and the continuing education credits they have received.
The tours below will walk you through each side of Continuing Ed Tracker LIVE so you can see for yourself how valuable this application will be for your company.
The Administrative Back End allows administrators to quickly view employee licenses that are about to expire, view credits needed and received, renew employee licenses, manage course credits received, create attendance certificates, create upcoming courses for employee registration, and much more.
