Clear answers to common questions.

Most learning management systems (LMS) and corporate HR portals treat credentials as temporary employer property: you upload certificates to an internal portal, and when you change agencies, you lose access to your history. ValKred is built around the individual: you own your permanent encrypted vault for life. When you work for an agency or hospital, you authorize a secure "Handshake" to sync active status with their Master Readiness Grid without relinquishing your data or re-uploading documents.

When you authorize a Handshake with an employer, only verified active license numbers, expiration dates, CEU completion percentages, and compliance statuses are synced to the employer's readiness grid. Your personal study notes, private goals, and unconfirmed document uploads remain confidential in your private vault.

Traditional compliance software relies on stressful red badges and emergency emails days before an expiration. ValKred replaces this with constructive "Ready", "Readiness Pacing", and "Action Required" guidance calculated throughout your multi-year cycle, ensuring you meet category floors and caps steadily without last-minute panic.

ValKred includes native rule engines covering all 50 states plus DC for Emergency Medical Services (NREMT plus every state EMS office's own licensure requirements) and Fire Service Operations (NFPA, IFSAC/Pro Board, and every state fire marshal/training office), all 50 states plus DC for Registered Nurse licensure renewal, all 50 states plus DC for attorney MCLE/CLE (state bar mandatory and voluntary-reporting jurisdictions modeled honestly, including DC's mandatory-admittee course), national nursing specialties (AACN CCRN, BCEN CEN), AHA life-support credentials (BLS, ACLS, PALS), Environmental Health & Safety (BCSP ASP/CSP, OSHA), Technology & Cybersecurity (AWS, Google Cloud, Cisco, CompTIA, and (ISC)² -- CISSP, CCSP, SSCP, CC, CGRC, CSSLP, and the ISSAP/ISSEP/ISSMP CISSP concentrations), Project Management (PMI's PMP and CAPM), and Business & Human Resources (SHRM-CP/SCP, HRCI's PHR/SPHR). If there's a profession or certifying body you'd like to see supported, let us know.

With one click, ValKred compiles a credential's completion history, requirement bucket evaluation, and attached certificate proofs into a single audit transcript you can hand to a state board or hospital compliance office for review.

Yes. ValKred provides an authenticated REST API (e.g. GET /api/v1/enterprise/readiness-check) that scheduling and workforce management platforms (such as Kronos, Aladtec, UKG, and Workday) can query before finalizing shift rosters, preventing non-compliant or expired personnel from being scheduled.

You can sign in directly at app.valkred.com using your email and password, or with biometric Passkeys (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello) and hardware security keys.

ValKred operates on a practitioner-owned vault model. ValKred does not sell regulated goods, handle retail commerce, or act as an employment agency. Individual professionals securely store and manage their own verified credentials, licenses, and continuing education hours. Through our Handshake Protocol, employers sync verified active status and compliance grid metrics without taking ownership of private user vaults or vault documents.
