Tenure tells you exactly what continuing education you still owe to keep your professional license current β and never lets you mistake "hours done" for "compliant." Track every license you hold in one place: nursing (RN), CPA, attorney (CLE/MCLE), real estate, and more, across multiple states. For each one, Tenure applies that board's specific rules β total hours, ethics, mandated topics, annual minimums, renewal cadence β and shows a single, honest status: β’ Green, amber, or red at a glance, sorted by what needs attention first β’ A plain-English gap: "you still owe 2 hours, including 2 ethics, by Aug 15" β’ The catch others miss: you can have all your hours and still be short a required course β Tenure names it instead of hiding it behind a progress bar CAPTURE & TRACK β’ Scan a CE certificate β Tenure reads it on-device; you confirm before anything counts β’ A private certificate vault, searchable and yours β’ Log credits by hand in seconds NEVER MISS A RENEWAL β’ Calm, escalating reminders at 90, 60, 30, 14, and 7 days β’ An audit-ready renewal report you can hand to your board BUILT ON TRUST β’ Every rule shows its source and the date it was last verified β’ Don't see your credential?
