Standard certification processes are built into our platform, which helps accelerate initial implementations.

LearningBuilder makes the application and review process easy and user-friendly.

  • Show the path: LearningBuilder’s intuitive, interactive Certification Dashboard lets applicants check their progress, complete their applications, and update their information without program staff intervention.
  • Store the information: With LearningBuilder’s upload and storage capabilities, there’s no need to maintain a file (or pile).
  • Stay on track: Once your candidates are certified, LearningBuilder opens a recertification application so that you can engage them in the renewal process.

We have powerful, no-code tools that save you time and give you greater insight into program performance.

  • Get a handle on the numbers: LearningBuilder’s enhanced Reporting Module puts the data you need right on your dashboard, so you can maximize its impact.
  • Automate your sends: Plan and set your Email and SMS communications with the confidence that the system is sending those all-important reminders and updates for you.

We add value now, and over time.

  • Make changes: A highly configurable Workflow Editor and Visual Rules Engine make it easy to tailor our system to your unique organizational needs. Updates, changes, and program evolution happen smoothly — no heavy coding needed. Update a label, change a data validation rule, edit instructions, and more…all without needing to engage support.
  • Keep your edge: The Heuristics team stays current with industry and technology trends. We are constantly enhancing and innovating the LearningBuilder platform with an eye toward the future of certification.

For organizations that are already using an AMS/LMS

Already working with a certification software platform? No problem! LearningBuilder can integrate seamlessly with your existing systems and processes, helping you to make the most of what you already have — and then build on it. See our integrations page for more information about our integration capabilities.

For organizations that partner with exam providers

Once a candidate is authorized to test, LearningBuilder integrates with the leading test vendors to make scheduling exams easy. After an exam, LearningBuilder accepts the exam results electronically and either begins the conferral process next steps if passing, or otherwise provides options to re-test.

For organizations who track CE activities

LearningBuilder offers a variety of options, from a basic CE tracking log to tracking specific CE categories with minimums and limits. We can even handle more involved continuing education management, helping you engage educators through approved provider networks and courses.

For organizations considering new programs

If you want more, we can do more: LearningBuilder delivers eLearning and low-stakes assessments, supports portfolio review, and can engage employers with a voucher program. We’re always working to release new features that keep our clients on the leading edge of their organizational goals.

Certification Management Software FAQs

What is certification management software?

Certification management software manages the end-to-end lifecycle of a professional credential, including eligibility, applications, exam integrations, CE tracking, and recertification.

How is certification management software different from an AMS?

An AMS is built to manage membership: dues, events, engagement, and member records. Certification management software is built to manage a credentialing program: eligibility rules, application review, exam coordination, CE requirements, and recertification cycles. Many organizations run both, integrated, with the AMS as the system of record for members and the certification platform running the credential workflows.

What should certification management software include?

At minimum: configurable eligibility and application workflows, integration with test-delivery vendors, CE and recertification tracking, automated reminders and notifications, and reporting your staff can build without code. Programs with complex rules should also look for a rules engine that can encode handbook requirements directly.
