TRAC Cards
Introducing a new way to track your training!
Training Record and Certification (TRAC) Cards are personalized cards that track your CSNS training in an online record. You can use your TRAC Card to view, download, and print your certificates from anywhere at any time. It is a quick and easy way to view your completed and expired courses and to share your training records.
Beginning March 27, 2024, TRAC Cards will be provided to all students when they complete in-person or virtual training.

The Training Record and Certification (TRAC) Cards are physical cards that provide a personalized link and QR code to an online record of your training with Construction Safety Nova Scotia.

No. Your TRAC Card provides you with a link to an online record of all courses you have taken with CSNS. After you complete a new course, it will be added to your online record and will be accessible via your unique link or QR code.
The link and QR code on your card will be active when you receive it.
You can access your online record by typing your personalized URL into a web browser, or by using a camera on a web-enabled smartphone or tablet to scan your QR code. This link will never change, so you can save it in your bookmarks or a safe place. We recommend taking a picture of your TRAC Card and saving it to your primary device. Additionally, we recommend downloading or screenshotting your individual training certificates so that you can access them if you are without internet access.
