### Adding a new student certification

1. Open Certifications -> [Student Certification](https://app.unifiedtrainingtracking.com/Certifications/student) -> Select **New Student Certification**
2. Fill out the Add Student Certification modal
   1. Student Name - The student the certification will be applied to
   2. Certification Name - The certification that should be applied to the student
   3. Start Date/Expiration Date - The time range that the certification will be applied to the student

### Certification Renewals

Students can only have one active certification of the same type. If a student earns a certification that they already have obtained in the past, the new certification will take the place of the old certification and the old certification will be considered "renewed" by the new certification unless the new certification has an end date before the end date of the original certification.
