MyCertRenewal vs. spreadsheets
Your CPE/CEU spreadsheet, without the spreadsheet work
A spreadsheet can list your activities. It can’t tell you where each one counts, or keep the proof with the claim.
Side by side
| Spreadsheet | MyCertRenewal | |
|---|---|---|
| Logging one activity for three certifications | Often entered once per certification | Entered once |
| Category and credit value | You look up each certifying body's rules yourself | Calculated from each certifying body's stored rules (ISC2, CompTIA, EC-Council and ISACA today) |
| Caps and group requirements | Easy to miss until submission | Tracked against each cycle |
| Claim status | Usually one column, if any | Identified, planned, ready, submitted, accepted, or not eligible with the reason |
| Evidence | A separate folder, if you kept it | Attached to the activity, shared by every claim |
| What to do next | You work it out | A ranked list in the Renewal Command Center |
| Credit you missed | Only if you go back and look | Found automatically across everything you've logged, for you to review (Pro) |
| A plan to close the gap | You work it out | A plan from free activities, with the hours it will take (Pro) |
Keep your old spreadsheet if you like. MyCertRenewal is built to replace the part that takes the time.

Questions
Why can't a spreadsheet do this?
A spreadsheet can list your activities, but it doesn’t know each certifying body’s categories, credit values and caps, so you look them up and redo the math yourself. MyCertRenewal stores those rules as data.
Do I have to give up my spreadsheet?
No. Keep it if you like. MyCertRenewal replaces the part that takes the time: working out where each activity counts and keeping the proof with each claim.
Can one activity count toward more than one certification?
It can, but each certifying body decides by its own rules. One three-day conference was accepted for 12 CPE credits at ISC2, qualifies for 12 at EC-Council under a different category name, and is not eligible for a second EC-Council credential. MyCertRenewal tracks each answer separately.
