Update Your Certifications

You have several options when renewing your certifications in Dayforce. These options are outlined in more detail in the following sections:

Renew Certifications From Your Career Profile

Your certifications are listed in your career profile and you can renew expired or expiring certifications by clicking the Renew Now button (if available).

Role feature access: Profile > Profile Menu > Career > Qualifications > Certifications

To renew a certification:

  1. Go to Profile > Career > Qualifications.
  2. In the Certifications tab, click Renew Now for the certification. The Renew Certification dialog box opens with a list of the required courses.
  3. For each course, click the button next to the course name to launch and then complete the course. The button name reflects the status of the course as follows:
    • Open: You haven't enrolled in the course yet or haven't started it yet.
    • Continue: You started the course but haven't finished it.
    • Restart: You completed the course already.

Renew Certification From an Email or Notification

Depending on configuration, Dayforce might send you an email or a Message Center notification for your expired or expiring certifications. You can access and complete required internal courses directly from these emails or notifications.
