Tenure
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tenure tells you exactly what continuing education you still owe to keep your professional license current — 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 — total hours, ethics, mandated topics, annual minimums, renewal cadence — and shows a single, honest status: • Green, amber, or red at a glance, sorted by what needs attention first • A plain-English gap: "you still owe 2 hours, including 2 ethics, by Aug 15" • The catch others miss: you can have all your hours and still be short a required course — Tenure names it instead of hiding it behind a progress bar CAPTURE & TRACK • Scan a CE certificate — Tenure reads it on-device; you confirm before anything counts • A private certificate vault, searchable and yours • Log credits by hand in seconds NEVER MISS A RENEWAL • Calm, escalating reminders at 90, 60, 30, 14, and 7 days • An audit-ready renewal report you can hand to your board BUILT ON TRUST • Every rule shows its source and the date it was last verified • Don't see your credential? Build your own rules • A personal planner — not legal advice, not affiliated with any board PAY ONCE. PRIVATE. • No subscription — one payment unlocks everything • Your licenses and certificates never leave your device • Free to track your first two licenses; one payment unlocks unlimited Protect your license. Own the tool that protects it.
