Comprehensive Training for Growth and Community Impact

Our organizational training department at Jay Nolan Community Services has a threefold mission. First, to provide training to new employees so that they are equipped with the information and skills they need to be successful on the job. Second, to provide ongoing training and skill set that aid in the professional development and retention of incumbent staff. And third, to develop and create events and opportunities for community outreach through our educational programs and advocacy involvement.

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.

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. 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 miss your second day of class.

Can I submit a 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 “Physical Skills,” if at all. All staff coming into Jay Nolan must certify for Mandt 1&2 with the Jay Nolan Community Services Training Department.

Can I submit a Certificate for CPR training completed with an outside program or organization?
  • 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 and cc: training@jaynolan.org.
Am I required to do In-Person Physical Skills Class for Mandt and CPR, and how do I register?
  • If you complete an online Mandt and/or First Aid/CPR training, you must enroll within 6 weeks for the physical skills portion.
  • 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 through the training platform.
I have to register to renew my training. Why can’t I see available classes?

Available classes may depend on your current certification status and the timing of your renewal window. If you do not see the class you need, contact the Training Department at training@jaynolan.org for assistance.

Why does my instructor-led session not show as completed?

Your 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 required activity from a student to close the class, we will contact you and your 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 less than 100%, you may need to review your approved certificate or uploaded material to complete the course.
  • Open the course and review the necessary upload section to confirm that the document has been submitted and accepted.
  • Classes at 100% move from Assigned Learning to History.
If the Certificate or document Upload area is blank and you see a Submit button, do you still need to upload your certificate or document?
  • Yes. If the upload area is blank and you see a Submit button, you still need to upload your certificate or document.
  • Please make sure the file name has no special characters, including parentheses.
  • Once the file name has been updated, submit the document and wait for approval.
  • After your certificate has been approved, log in, open the course, and review the upload section to confirm completion.
  • Classes at 100% move from Assigned Learning to History.
  • Certificates are emailed directly to your personal email by the certifying organization. Please check your spam folder.
