What do you mean 'renew' my Card?

If you have a Card or certification within your Wallet that is approaching the end of its validity term, you can review any upcoming classes for a Course on offer, or recommended, by your organization that upon the successful completion would result in the recertification of your credentials. 

How will I be notified my Card is about to expire?

Trades Wallet tracks each card entry within a Wallet by its 'Issued' and 'Expires' dates and will alert the Wallet holder 60-days in advance of a card entry reaching the end of its validity term. This is true for both 'Public' and 'Private' card entries. 

(1) Email Notifications

In order to receive email notifications will require that you have a valid email address associated to your Wallet profile. 

For more information about how to add an email via the Self Service app, click here. 

(2) Self Service App

Trades Wallet utilizes 'Push Notifications' to enable alerts to your mobile device when you are not actively using the app. When setting up your Trades Wallet Self Service profile for the first time, you will be asked to allow Trades Wallet to send 'Push Notifications' to your phone or mobile device.

Within the app, you will be presented with warning notifications on your Home Page directing you to your 'Cards' tab.

Review upcoming Classes

If your organization provides in-house training, or if they have recommended training providers linked through Trades Wallet, a Wallet holder can view any upcoming classes for the relevant course directly from their email OR their Self Service app. 

Via Email

If you have expiring or expired cards within your Wallet, you will receive an email containing the 'Title' of the credential and the date it is set to expire. 

If your organization provides in-house training, has preferred or recommended training providers linked via Trades Wallet, you may also be presented with upcoming 'Classes' for a course that, upon successful completion, would result in the recertification of your credentials. 

Select the relevant links to be directed to the 'Course' registration page.
