Life's New Beignnings - IBUDGET Training Sources

Main Training Employee Client Forms

You may need Adobe Acrobat Reader for some of the training. If you do not have that software, you can download it for free from http://www.adobe.com/reader. You may also need Microsoft Word, version 2003 or above. You can purchase this from Microsoft.

As an employee of an agency that provides waiver services, you are required to meet certain training requirements. To receive credit for Required Training, you MUST show proof of training with a certificate. To receive credit for Annual Service-Specific/Certified Training, you MUST provide proof of training with a certificate and syllabus/agenda. You must provide this proof to your employer.

Some training is required BEFORE you start work, some is required within a CERTAIN TIME-FRAME during your probation period (usually 30-90 days) or IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR CERTIFICATE, and some Service-Specific Training is required ANNUALLY.

If you are hired, you are responsible for ensuring you have completed your Hire Training requirements and Annual/Certified Training requirements. Check the Handbook for the most current requirements. You must ensure your Annual Training is actually training (example: a presentation, a conference, how to do something). You may NOT just read articles for your training. You may NOT use the same training more than one time.

ANNUAL TRAINING SOURCES - SERVICE SPECIFIC TOPICS
To provide medicaid waiver services you must meet certain training requirements. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining your training. Use the Hire Training or Annual/Certified Training charts to help you keep track of your training. You MUST submit proof (a certificate and syllabus) to the office to receive credit. Remember, your Annual Service-Specific Training MUST include training related to at least one client with whom you are currently working in supported living. If you find especially good training or source that you want to share, please email the link to bquinker. This list only provides suggested links. Many of the links are to articles which you may NOT use as training, but they provide you with information and also may lead you to training that you can use to fulfill your annual requirement.
