Staff Education and Training Unit

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

NO-SHOW POLICY

If you are confirmed for a program and do not attend and do not let us know you will not be attending or that someone else will be attending in your place, you will be noted as a “no show”. If this occurs two times, you will not be permitted to attend any of the training programs listed on this site for one training cycle with the exception of any training that is mandated by law, policy or by the Commissioner. If you need to cancel out of a program you have signed up for use our cancellation form (in the upper right hand corner of our website).

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

A training day is considered a work day. Therefore, it is expected that when you sign up and are confirmed for training you will attend the entire program. Credit will not be given for partial attendance.

CEU'S

Continuing education units (ceu) are recorded for participants who are formally registered and who complete at least 80% of the program. We are requiring presenters to note when people do not return from lunch or are late. Ceu certificates will be handed out at the end of the program only. We are not able to offer partial credits. One ceu is equal to ten (10) class hours. Ceu's are a nationally recognized unit of measurement for in-service training. Each participant should maintain a personal record of training completed. SETU has the official training record for DHHS staff and will provide an individual training record for three years from the current year.

If you decide to attend a training program without a confirmation, please be aware that the presenter can choose not to accept you if there is no space or program material to accommodate you. If there is space and material, you will be welcome to stay.

The web page contains all the information needed for our training programs. Please take a few moments to look it over. The calendar will show if you have been confirmed. It will also show you if you are among the first ten on the waiting list and information about location and date changes or if a program has been cancelled. It is a good idea to always check the web site before heading off to a training.

The Staff Education and Training Unit is the official repository for all training records whether the training is done by the unit or by CWTI/DHSTI. If you wish to have a copy of your transcript please contact us by email or phone with your name(make sure the name you give us is the one you use for payroll/Personnel purposes) and we will be happy to send you a transcript.

Finally: please plan to arrive on time and attend the entire program. Arriving late and/or leaving early is disruptive to the group and to the presenter. Ceu certificates will only be handed out at the end of the program.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to seeing you in training this year. Please feel free to call us should you have any questions or concerns. We can be reached at 287-9355, TTY: 1-800-606-0215, or by email at dhs.setu@maine.gov
