Know what matters before you renew.
ShiftProof is an organizer, not the licensing authority. Always resolve discrepancies in your BreEZe account or with the California BRN.
First renewal is different
Eligible first-time renewals are exempt from the 30-hour total, but still need one hour of direct-participation implicit bias training.
Keep proof for four years
The BRN conducts random audits. Retain certificates or grade slips even after exporting your tracker.
Renew inside the window
Online renewal opens no earlier than three months before expiration. Check BreEZe for deficiencies that can delay completion.
