Everyone entering the training facility must first sign in with their contact information. Please arrive 15-20 minutes before class starts. Masks are now optional. All attending in-person training must listen to the instructions given by their instructor. This includes any procedures regarding health and safety that go beyond those listed above.

What is MANDT Training?

The Mandt System is the core learning curriculum at JNCS. We require all employees to certify in Mandt every year. This training focuses on managing your own behaviors, de-escalation techniques, and building healthy relationships.

Can staff submit their Certificate for CPR training completed with an outside program?
  • We will only accept certificates from an In-person CPR and First Aid class. In-person means you were monitored by a CPR instructor doing physical compressions and breaths.
  • We only accept Outside CPR Certificates utilizing the American Heart Association or American Red Cross guidelines.
  • All questions regarding CPR Certificates including for New Hires should be directed to Camille Watkins at cwatkins@jaynolan.org cc: Training@jaynolan.org
Am I required to do In-Person Physical Skills Class for Mandt and CPR, and How do I register?

Mandt and CPR/First Aid core training events require instructor observed, physical skills demonstrations in a classroom setting. All staff taking online versions of these classes must complete the in-person skills demonstrations to finalize their current certification. Both will be completed on the same day.Ā

Can staff submit their Certificate for Mandt 1&2 training completed with an outside program?

No. We do not accept Mandt 1&2 certificates from outside training organizations because we have a unique perspective on how we apply Mandt ā€œPhysical Skillsā€ if at all. All staff coming into Jay Nolan must certify for Mandt 1&2 with the Jay Nolan Community Services Training Department.

Do I have to take Mandt 1&2 two days in a row even if something happens and I miss my second day of class, arrive late, or have to leave early?

Yes. Mandt 1&2 is a two-day training that needs to be taken back to back. If you arrive over 30 minutes late, have to leave early, or for some reason miss your second day of class, then you will be asked to reschedule and take both days in a row at a later date.

Why does Paycom show that I havenā€™t completed the Live class Session (Mandt 1 & 2, CPR First Aid, or Foundations)?

The class is not completed until the trainer has finalized the class roster. The Training Department has 7 working days to complete the class roster. Please wait to ask about class completion until 7 days, not including weekends, after completing the class. If we see that there is some required activity from a student required before we can close the class, we will contact them and their supervisor.

Why is my Self Study class not 100% even though I think I uploaded the necessary documents?
  • If you successfully uploaded a certificate BUT, your class is STILL IN YOUR ASSIGNED LEARNING at less than 100%, you need to review your approved certificate to convert it to 100% and for Paycom to autocomplete the class.
    • Login to Paycom, Open the course and click the necessary Upload section to ā€œviewā€ your uploaded material. Doing this will close out your course at 100%
    • Classes at 100% move from Assigned Learning to History.
  • If when you check for the Certificate or document Upload ā€“ if it is blank and you see a Submit button, you still need to upload your certificate or document.
    • Please make sure to change the name of the certificate so that it has no special characters (**&%#) including parenthesis ().
    • Once you change the name you can Submit it. Please then wait for the approval.
    • After your certificate has been approved (you will receive an email) you must then log in to Paycom, open the course, and click the upload section to ā€œviewā€ your document. Doing this will close out your course at 100%!
    • Classes at 100% move from Assigned Learning to History.
