What are credentials in SafetyCulture?
The Credentials feature in SafetyCulture simplifies and streamlines the management of your workforce's qualifications. Whether it's certifications or external qualifications like driver's licenses and first aid courses, our platform offers a single, organized repository for them all.
Pairing with Training in SafetyCulture, Credentials ensures your teams have complete compliance. For example, a forklift operator can take a site induction course and have a forklift license as a credential for seamless on-site operations.

CSV troubleshooting guide
If there's an error in the CSV of credentials you've uploaded, we'll highlight it when you're reviewing the data. You can refer to the following potential errors for resolutions.

|---|---|
Credential type doesn't exist | Please ensure the credential type is created in your organization. If the credential type has been created already, check that the spelling in your CSV file is correct. |
