The SCEIS Training Accreditation and Recognition (STAR) certification program was designed to identify SCEIS users who have completed specific training requirements in SCEIS Human Resources (HR) and Payroll modules and can demonstrate their knowledge by passing a certification exam.

STAR certification is optional. All SCEIS transactions can effectively be performed without a STAR certification.
