How a Registration Platform Can Help with Industry Compliance
On top of daily job requirements, professionals in a variety of industries are responsible for maintaining compliance with the association or organization that provides oversight and regulations for their industry. Health care providers, attorneys, educators, and financial advisors are just a few of the many career paths that require ongoing continuing education to maintain licensure and the ability to continue doing their jobs. Failing to keep up with regulatory requirements in any industry can quickly result in penalties, loss of licenses, or negative impact on an individual’s professional reputation.
Keeping track of industry requirements and managing the educational tasks that go along with compliance can often seem like a lot to juggle. That’s where a registration platform like Learning Stream can add a high level of value.
Managing Continuing Education Courses
The main role of a registration platform is to provide a streamlined solution for organizations to manage their registrations for continuing education courses, workshops, certification programs, and other types of learning events. An all-in-one platform makes it easy for participants to browse, register, and pay for courses that are relevant or required to maintain compliance in their field. With features like automated scheduling reminders, e-learning content that is tied to testing, and simple integrations with popular learning management systems, Learning Stream manages the more cumbersome tasks of continuing education.
Generating Comprehensive Reports
Maintaining compliance often involves a long to-do list of courses to complete, hours to spend on various subjects, and credits to track down. The best registration software includes comprehensive reporting within a student portal to help participants keep track of every step of the compliance process. Reports can provide a detailed overview of completed courses, required courses that are still in the queue, earned credits, remaining credits left to earn, any other pending requirements, and the dates by which all requirements need to be completed. Having all this information in one place makes it much easier for busy professionals to stay on top of what they need to do in order to keep practicing in their chosen career—and they can also use these reports to respond to audits and inquiries from an oversight organization.
Providing Documentation to Oversight Organizations
Oversight organizations for a particular industry typically ask for proof of course completion to maintain licensure or credentials. Along with its registration management capabilities, Learning Stream is also a robust source of documentation to satisfy industry requirements. Certificates, transcripts, and other required paperwork are always available in one centralized place to upload or download and send to the appropriate oversight organization—with automatic reminders that can be configured to ensure you never miss a deadline. Keeping all official documents in one place cuts down on the potential for human error and the risk of something important getting lost.
For professionals across any regulated industry, Learning Stream can offer invaluable support in the effort to maintain compliance. As all industries and professional criteria continue to evolve, utilizing technology to simplify compliance will become increasingly essential—allowing professionals to keep doing what they do best in their chosen fields.
