Field guide

What every field means

Employee Name
The employee the certification belongs to.
Credential Type
The specific certification name — keep naming consistent (e.g. always "OSHA 10", not sometimes "OSHA-10").
Issuing Authority
Who issued it — a regulator, a training provider, or your own company.
Issue Date / Expiration Date
When it was granted and when it needs renewal. Leave expiration blank for certifications that don't expire.
Status
Current, Expiring Soon, or Expired — update manually in a spreadsheet, or track this automatically in software.
Notes
Anything else worth recording — a renewal in progress, a waiver, etc.
How to use it

Step by step

1

Duplicate the sample row for each employee/certification pair

2

Sort or filter by Status to see what's expiring first

3

Update Status manually as dates approach, or migrate to software once this becomes hard to keep current

Sample

What's inside

The download includes 3 filled example rows (shown below) so you can see the intended format before entering your own data.

Limitations

What this template doesn't do

This is a static spreadsheet — nothing updates automatically, and it won't remind you before something expires. It has no built-in validation, so a typo in a date won't be caught.
