Certification Required Jobs

Understanding jobs that require certification, required certification types, and uploading proof of certification to the Bluecrew app.

Updated over a week ago

Some jobs on the Bluecrew app may require Crew Members to provide certification in order to work in those positions. When Workplaces indicate a certification requirement, Crew Members are required to confirm they have a non-expired certification, upload proof of the certification, and bring a copy of the certification with them to every shift of their assignment. When this is required for a job, Crew Members will see a “Certification Required” icon on the position detail page and will only be assigned to the job after uploading proof of the certification.

You will be required to show a copy of this certification to your supervisor on your first day and bring it with you to every shift. Providing false information or invalid certifications may result in your account being deactivated and no longer being able to work with Bluecrew.

How do I know if a certification is required?

When you click into a position from the Find Work page, you will see a “Certification Required” icon and details of the certification type in the job requirements section. If a certification is required for the job, you will be required to provide proof of meeting this requirement before getting assigned to the job. Within the position details, you will see the type of certification needed for the job.

Which certifications will you require?

Certification requirements are decided by the company posting the job. Certification types which may be required by jobs are:

  • Food handlers card

  • Alcohol server certification

  • Responsible beverage server certification (for California only)

  • Forklift certification

How do I submit my proof of my certification?

First, you need to download the latest version of the app. To do this, click “update” on the dashboard and follow the instructions.

When you select a job that requires certifications, you will be prompted to upload your proof of the certification if it has not already been added to your profile.

To add your proof of certification:

  1. Click “Get this job”

  2. Click “Job Requirements”

  3. Fill out the fields regarding certification type

  4. Enter certification information and upload proof of certification

You will be required to show a copy of this certification to your supervisor on your first day and bring it with you to every shift, you can bring a physical copy or a digital copy if the certification was issued in digital form. Providing false information or invalid certifications may result in your account being deactivated and no longer being able to work with Bluecrew.

How do I provide proof of a certification if I don’t see any jobs in my area which require certification?

If you don’t see a job where a certification is required, you can upload your copy of certification using the following links. You will need to be signed into the app to open the links.

Do I need to upload proof of certification for every new job I apply for?

No, if you already submitted your proof of certification, you will not have to submit it for new job applications unless it is expired. We will require you to provide an updated proof of certification through the Bluecrew app if the certification has passed the expiration date.

Can I access my proof of certification after I upload them to Bluecrew?

No, you can’t access the proof of certification after uploading.You will be required to show this certification to your supervisor on your first day and bring it with you to every shift.

My certificate is expiring soon. How do I renew my certification?

You can renew your certification through the issuing agency where you received the certification.

I accidentally uploaded the wrong certification, can I edit my upload?

You cannot edit the certification after uploading. If you need help updating the certification, please contact support.

Why am I not able to get this job?

Some jobs may require certifications in order for a Crew Member to be assigned to the job. When a job has a “certification required” badge and a required certification in the job details, this means only CMs who meet the certification requirement will be assigned to the job.

I don't want to show/travel with my certification once I upload?

We ask that you bring the certification with you to every shift of the assignment in the event there is a request to view your certificate by the supervisor or the health department. For employees working in California, please have your Server ID number (obtained through California Responsible Beverage Server Training) available upon request. You will have a reminder on your dashboard to bring the certification with you to every shift.
