Frequently asked questions are listed below.
CEU Hours and Recert Info
Can I do all my Con-ed hours online.
No. Per MA OEMS and NREMT Guidelines, you are only allowed to do 33% of your hours online. That means for an EMT, you can do 13 hrs, for a Paramedic you can do 20 hrs. In order to recertify you must complete 40 hrs as a Basic EMT and 60 hrs as a Paramedic. Therefore you must complete the majority of your hours in a physical classroom.
Do I have to do this NCCR thing? I thought they were getting rid of the refreshers!
You can opt to not do the actual NCCR program as a full 'refresher' program. However, the only option you have to do it differently is to have enough CEU hours to cover all the categories and subjects that the NREMT and MA OEMS have determined are needed in the NCCR guidelines. That means you must keep track of all hours in the NCCR category and document them appropriately on massemt.org site for recertification. See the downloads to the right for the recert requirement applicable to you.
Do I have to attend all the classes here at Beauport?
No, there is no requirement to, but keep in mind if you attend classes elsewhere this may incur personal expense. Beauport is providing these courses for you at their cost as an employee benefit. In addition some of these courses are required by the service. Those that are required will be listed in the Moodle program as such, and you will be required to complete them.
Mandatory Training
I've been an employee here for 5 years, do I really have to do this HIPAA and OSHA stuff?
Yes. It is a federal compliance regulation, so Beauport must require it to be in accordance with the law. However, once you have it done, you won't need to worry about it again until next year!
How do I know what mandatory annual training I need to complete?
If you follow the links located on the mainpage of the MyBeauportEDU portal, that will bring you to the Moodle site. Once there and you are logged in, you will see all annual mandatory courses listed. Complete them, and once you take and pass then associated quiz, you'll get confirmation of completion which should be submitted to Beauport management. They will also recieve notification through the tracking system. And remember to keep a copy of completion certificates for yourself.
Non-Employees
I have a friend who isn't a Beauport employee and needs con-ed hrs. Can they attend class here?
Any non-employee can attend a CEU, NCCR module or certification course like CPR or ACLS, but they will have to register and pay through the host company, Atlantic Life Safety at their website. www.atlanticlifesafety.com.
Troubleshooting
I can't seem to get this Moodle site to work right for me, what do I do?
It might be the web browser that you are using. Many browsers don't work well with more dynamic websites. Check the Moodle computer requirements on their site help. You can also check the help on Moodle for assistance or call in. As a last resort contact Rory Putnam at rputnam@atlanticlifesafety.com .
