CredMinder keeps track of when your licenses, certifications and cards expire, and reminds you before each one does. It was built by a paramedic. FOR EMS, FIRE AND NURSING Add your NREMT card, your state EMT or paramedic license, ACLS, BLS, PALS and CPR. Flight crews can add FP-C and CCP-C. Nurses can add their license and CEU deadlines. It works for anything with an expiration date, including a driver's license or a fire certification. REMINDERS Pick how far ahead you want to hear about each one, from a few days to several weeks. Reminders live on your phone, so they fire even with no signal. Open the app once in a while and it keeps them up to date. THE CARD AND THE PAPERWORK Take a photo of the front and back of a card, or attach the PDF your licensing board emailed you. When HR or your coordinator asks for proof, it's already in your pocket. PDF attachments come with Pro and Unlimited. Photos work on every plan. EXPORT Turn a credential into a PDF and send it by email, message or AirDrop. Handy for onboarding packets, audits and recert paperwork. Included on every plan. WHAT'S DUE NEXT Your list is split into expired, expiring soon and current, and each group is sorted by date. Whatever you need to renew next sits at the top. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Sign in on iPhone or iPad, or go to credminder.bepreparededu.com in a browser.
