Compliance training is the process of educating employees on state, industry, or company laws and regulations and how those affect their jobs and responsibilities. In highly regulated industries, where rules change often, there’s a risk of non-compliance. It’s why employees need to stay up-to-date at all times.

TalentLMS lets you certify users for completing compliance courses to ensure their full awareness of the company's regulatory environment.

You can set certifications to expire on a specific date or after specified periods of time. And for your employees to stay certified, they will have to retake the updated compliance courses.

To set up an automated certificate expiration and renewal process, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator, go to Home > Courses (1), and click to edit (2) a course.

2. Once in the course edit page, click on Options (3).

3. Go to the Completion (4) tab, select a certificate type and in the Certificate duration (5) drop-down list, choose a time period after which the certificate expires (e.g., 2 years).

4. From the Re-assign course to user drop-down menu, you have these options:

• Select On certificate expiration (6). You can choose to reset and reassign the user at the time the certificate expires. See more about this here. This way, previous certificates aren’t lost. TalentLMS holds the last 20 certificates issued for a user (per course) and you can find them archived in the user’s Certificates tab, under User reports. If more than 20 certificates are issued for a user, the oldest certificate is deleted.
• Select One week before certificate expiration or 30 days before the certificate expiration. In this case the previous certificate is updated with the new information and no new certificate is issued.

5. Click Save (7) to save your changes.
