Online Medication Administration Training for Trainers
The School Nurse Train the Trainer Medication Administration Training webcasts are available on the KY TRAIN website. KY TRAIN course numbers are posted at the following link:
 
 
The Medication Administration Training Manual for Unlicensed School Personnel is updated and now includes a Study Guide. An Instructor’s Guide that includes lesson plans, final exams and the skill competencies is available but there are no CD’s available as in previous years and the Instructor’s Guide will not be posted on the KDE Health Services Website to protect the integrity of the final examination for the course.
 
 
Online Medication Administration Training for Unlicensed Personnel
KDE and KY TRAIN have collaborated to develop an online training course to provide an alternative training option for unlicensed school personnel. School districts continue to be responsible for providing training for unlicensed school personnel on their local district policies, procedures and forms. 
 
The online training for unlicensed personnel has a final open book test that is graded online. It is still the local district responsibility to verify hands-on skills competency.
 
Per KRS.156.502, the delegation is only valid for the current school year. (A school year runs from July 1 through June 30.) Training taken prior to the beginning of the 2017-18 school year will not be valid for the 2017-18 school year. The following document replaces the old competency checklist used for the online training:
 
 
The online training course is now available on https://ky.train.org.
