Employee training certificate expiry

Training compliance software that tracks when certificates expire

Lapsewise keeps a record of every employee training certificate: first aid, OSHA, food handler, fire safety, manual handling and more. Each certificate has its holder, issue date, expiry date and renewal cost. Your team gets reminded before any training cert lapses, so you are never caught with uncertified staff when it matters.

Free plan available. No credit card required.

Why a spreadsheet is not enough

An employee whose first aid certificate expired last month, a food handler who never renewed their hygiene card, a site supervisor whose OSHA 30 is two years out of date. Training compliance gaps tend to surface at the worst moment: an audit, an incident, or a client inspection.

Most organizations track training certificates in spreadsheets, shared folders, or the head of whoever runs HR. When someone leaves or a cert silently passes its expiry date, nobody finds out until it becomes a problem. The spreadsheet does not remind anyone, and it does not know when the next renewal is due.

Lapsewise gives every training certificate a tracked expiry date, a named owner and an automatic reminder schedule. Status turns amber as the renewal window opens and red when action is overdue, so certificates get renewed before anyone works uncertified.

Frequently asked questions

What is training compliance software?

Training compliance software helps organizations record, track and manage the training certifications their employees hold. Lapsewise focuses on the expiry and renewal side: it stores each certificate with its holder, expiry date and renewal cost, and sends reminders before any cert lapses. It does not deliver training content. It ensures you always know who is current and who needs to renew.

Which training certificates can Lapsewise track?

Any certification with an expiry date. Common examples include first aid and CPR, OSHA 10 and 30, food handler and food hygiene cards, forklift and equipment operator certs, fire safety, manual handling, confined space entry and industry-specific licences. You define the category and the renewal cycle.

How far in advance does Lapsewise send reminders?

You control the reminder schedule. Lapsewise can send alerts at 90, 60 and 30 days before expiry, or any window you configure. Reminders go to the certificate owner and, on paid plans, also via SMS or Slack, so renewals are actioned in time.

Can I see which employees have expired training certificates?

Yes. The dashboard status board shows every certificate across your team grouped by status: active, expiring soon and expired. Filter by employee, category or site to see exactly who needs action.

How much does Lapsewise cost?

Lapsewise has a free plan to get started. Paid plans add CSV import, AI document parsing and SMS or Slack reminders. See the pricing page for current limits and per-workspace pricing.
