Reading the certifications home screen

What this screen is

Certifications is where Verinode reads every credential your business holds: IICRC and carrier-program certifications your team members carry, firm-level certifications held by the business itself, and certifications your subcontractors have on file. It surfaces renewal timing, credential gaps, and carrier-program eligibility as a single home screen, the same shell every section on the platform uses. This article covers the very top of that screen: the hero panel and its four headline numbers.

Verinode does not manage your certifications for you. It reads the cert PDFs, photos, and forwarded renewal emails you send in, projects expiration dates forward, and lays out what needs attention. You decide what to renew, who to re-certify, and which carrier program to chase next.

Where to find it

Open Certifications from the sidebar at iq.verinode.ai/certifications. The hero panel is the first thing on the page, above the Take Action row, the Explore row, and Most Recent.

The headline number: Active Certifications

The large number at the top left, under the eyebrow Active Certifications, is your count of certifications that have not passed their expiration date yet. It is every team, firm, and subcontractor certification on file, minus the ones that have already expired. Certifications that are close to expiring but haven't crossed the line yet are still counted here, they show up separately in the Expiring metric below, not subtracted out of this headline.

The number animates upward from zero to the true count over about a second when the page loads. With no certifications on file yet, it reads a plain 0.

The program-coverage pill

Next to the headline, a pill can appear reading something like "83% Programs Covered." This is the share of your actively enrolled carrier programs where you currently hold every certification that program requires, across your team and your firm together.

A few things to know about it:

• It only appears once you're actively enrolled in at least one carrier program. With no enrolled programs, there's no pill at all, not a "0% Covered" pill.
• Coverage counts a certification as held if it's currently active or expiring soon, not yet expired.
• The pill is color-coded: green when coverage is high (90% or more), amber when it's moderate (70 to 89%), and red when it needs attention (under 70%).

This is the fastest signal on the page for "am I about to lose eligibility on a program I'm already enrolled in." A red or amber pill means at least one required certification, somewhere on your team or your firm, has expired or is about to.

The line under the headline

Directly under the headline number and pill, a sentence adapts to your data:

• With no certifications on file at all, it reads: "Add Data, certs land here as photos, screenshots, and uploads come in."
• With at least one certification expiring in the next 30 days, it reads: "N certs expiring in the next 30 days" (singular "cert" when N is 1).
• Otherwise, it reads: "N certs across team, firm, and subcontractors."

This line always tells you which of the three states you're in before you look at anything else on the page.

The two secondary metrics

To the right of the headline, two smaller numbers sit side by side.

Expiring, the count of certifications expiring in the next 30 days:

• Sub-label reads "Within 30 Days" when the count is above zero, or "Nothing Expiring Soon" when it's zero.
• Shown in red-tinted text when there's a nonzero count, neutral gray when there isn't.

Expired, the count of certifications already past their expiration date:

• Sub-label reads "Past Expiry" when the count is above zero, or "All Certs Current" when it's zero.
• Same red-tinted-when-nonzero, neutral-when-zero color treatment.

Read together with the headline: Active Certifications is your total minus Expired. Expiring is a preview of what's about to move into that Expired bucket if nobody acts.

1. 1Glance at the program-coverage pill first. Red or amber means a carrier program you're enrolled in is at risk of a gap.
2. 2Check Expiring. Anything nonzero here is on a 30-day clock, work it before it becomes Expired.
3. 3Check Expired. Anything here has already lapsed, address it first since it's already outside the window.
4. 4Scroll down to Take Action and Explore for the specific records and decisions behind these numbers, this hero is the summary, not the worklist.

Empty state: no certifications yet

With nothing on file, the hero reads Active Certifications as 0, no coverage pill (nothing enrolled yet), and the line "Add Data, certs land here as photos, screenshots, and uploads come in." The Expiring and Expired secondary metrics both read 0 with their zero-state sub-labels.

To get your first numbers onto this screen:

• Upload IICRC and carrier-program certification PDFs, anything with a name and an expiration date (WRT, ASD, AMRT, FSRT, and similar).
• Snap a photo of a physical cert card or training certificate, works for OSHA 10/30, EPA RRP, BBP, and other credential types the same way.
• Set up auto-forwarding so IICRC renewal notices and continuing-education-completion emails land automatically. See forwarding documents and connecting your data.

Once certifications start landing, the renewal calendar, credential-gap warnings, and carrier-program unlocks all build from the same records that feed this hero panel.

How the numbers are built

Everything in the hero panel comes from three kinds of certification records: team member certifications, firm-level (business) certifications, and subcontractor certifications. Verinode pulls all three in on every page load, projects each one's days-to-expiry from its expiration date, and rolls the results up:

• Active Certifications = total records across all three kinds, minus however many have already expired.
• Expiring in 30 Days = records whose expiration date falls within the next 30 days but hasn't passed yet.
• Expired = records whose expiration date has already passed.
• Program coverage = of your actively enrolled carrier programs, how many have every required certification currently held somewhere on your team or firm.

Carrier program requirements themselves come from a reference catalog Verinode maintains, not from your own records, so a newly required certification for a program you're enrolled in shows up as a coverage gap the moment Verinode learns about it, even before you've heard about the requirement change yourself.
