Use this checklist to avoid last-minute surprises.

Log each activity with title, provider, date, and hours/PDUs—especially non-course activities.
Store certificates or completion proof and keep records for the required retention window.
Review progress early to avoid completing non-qualifying activities late in the cycle.
Export a clear summary before submission and save renewal confirmations.

Make it repeatable

Track everything once and reuse your proof each cycle.

Forgetting non-course activities

Missing a required topic

Mandated topics can be easy to overlook. Track categories explicitly so gaps are visible early.

Not keeping proof organized

Board record requests are easier when certificates and notes are searchable and exportable.
