CMA - The future of HR in Construction

Automating Certification Management with K-REG

By Kristin Ziazie

For HR teams in construction, facility management, and technical services, keeping track of employee certifications is a never-ending challenge. Whether it’s health and safety training, trade qualifications, or proof of apprenticeship, every employee—internal or subcontracted—must have the right credentials to work on site.

But in many organisations, this information is still tracked manually across learning systems, HR platforms, and Excel sheets. Verifying and updating certifications is slow, error-prone and admin-heavy—creating unnecessary risk, especially when audits or inspections hit.

That’s where integration between K-REG and your HRM system comes in.

Summary

Challenges in Certification Management: HR professionals in construction face significant challenges managing employee certifications manually across various systems, leading to errors and compliance risks.
Solution Overview: Integration with K-REG and ConnectMyApps automates certification tracking, ensuring real-time data synchronization between HR management systems and the national registry (K-REG).
Operational Benefits: Streamlined processes reduce administrative burden, enhance audit readiness, and improve workforce efficiency by automating verification and updating of employee records.
Implementation and Impact: The template-based integration is quick to deploy, providing immediate operational advantages such as reduced errors, minimised administrative tasks, and increased compliance confidence.

A smarter way to manage certification and competence data

K-REG, the Kompetanseregisteret delivered by Sentralregisteret.no, is a national digital registry where course completions and accreditations are stored. It supports direct API integration with your systems—allowing you to push and pull certification data between your HRM and K-REG in real time.

ConnectMyApps (CMA), as an authorised integration partner, offers a ready-to-deploy connector between your HRM system and K-REG. This allows:

Seamless download of certification data into your HRM system
Always up-to-date competence records—no manual double entry
Faster onboarding and audit readiness
Enhance the solution further, allowing upload of acquired certifications from your LMS directly to K-REG

The integration works quietly in the background, ensuring that your people data is current, complete and compliant.

From compliance burden to operational advantage

With a K-REG integration by CMA in place, HR teams spend less time chasing documentation and more time building workforce capability.

Imagine being able to:

Instantly verify that a worker’s safety certification is valid before they’re scheduled
Automatically update employee records across systems without lifting a finger
Deliver documentation to site managers or auditors in seconds—knowing it’s accurate

In an industry where safety, compliance and efficiency are non-negotiable, this isn’t just a technical improvement—it’s a strategic upgrade.
