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.
- We will only accept certificates if completed within 3 months of hire or recertification 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
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.
Please register for a timeslot of your choice on Paycom Learning by logging in to your Paycom portal.
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.
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.
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.
