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.

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

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.

  • We will only accept certificates from an In-person CPR and First Aid class. In-person means you were monitored by a First Aid and CPR instructor performing all physical skills required for certification.
  • 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 Gaby Moretta at: gmoretta@jaynolan.org | cc: training@jaynolan.org
  • If you complete an Online Mandt and/or First Aid/CPR training, you must enroll within 6 weeks to the physical skills portion of either.
  • Mandt and First Aid/CPR 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.
  • Please register for a timeslot of your choice on Paycom Learning by logging in to your Paycom portal.
  • Paycom Learning hides available classes if you have taken the course in Paycom and are current in your training. You will have access to see available classes only when your current class expires. You will not be penalized for this Paycom issue.
  • For example: If your Mandt class expires on April 1, 2024. You will not see the available classes for Mandt scheduled before April 2, 2024. When you have access after your class has officially expired, you have a 30-day grace period to register for your next class.
