Upload Your Career Records

A new and improved three-step process for uploading your documents (this includes education, training certificates, including training workshops, CPE, and conferences) is here. You can even use one document to upload multiple certificates at a time. This process uses machine learning to scan your uploads and extract the data into the TECPDS system.

  • Log in to the TECPDS dashboard and navigate to the Upload My Careers
  • Click ‘Choose File’ on the main screen and select your file.
  • Click Upload and review your upload for accuracy before submitting it to TECPDS.

You can upload another career record or return to the dashboard from there.

Color coding has been added to help participants understand their progress status. It aligns with the color coding already in place across the trainer levels. Artifact boxes have increased in size for Trainer Levels 3 and 4.
