The medication administration course is designed to teach unlicensed staff to safely administer medications in settings authorized by law. Staff who successfully complete the medication administration course are not certified or licensed in any way, and are not trained or authorized to make any type of judgment, assessment or evaluation of a client. Staff who successfully complete the course are considered Qualified Medication Administration Persons (QMAP). Successful applicants will pass a written exam and a hands-on practical exam.

To register for this class, you must:
- be at least 18 years of age
- have a valid and current form of identification (ID must be presented prior to testing)

QMAP training consists of:
Self-paced online instruction, module quizzes and practice assignments. At the conclusion of the online course, the student is required to pass a written exam and a practical hands-on skills exam.
