Level 2 Approval Process

Before inviting a Level 2 applicant to interview, answer these questions: 

• Does your agency have the capacity to take on a Level 2 Learner at this time?
• Does your agency have enough Mentors, and enough Mentor availability?
• Does your agency have enough call volume that a Learner would be able to go on calls?
• Is this likely to be a worthwhile experience for the Learner?

Before approving a Level 2 applicant, ask yourself these questions: 

• Do you feel the Learner could be counted on to get you what you needed on an EMS call?
• Do you trust that they will follow instructions in a stressful situation?
• Do you feel they are mature enough to behave appropriately on an EMS call?
• Have they demonstrated that they are serious about considering a future in EMS, healthcare, and/or public safety?
• Do you think they are a good fit for your agency?

Steps when approving a Learner for Level 2:

• Communicate with the Learner’s Instructor of Record.
  
  • The Instructor of Record needs to approve the Learner’s application in the GenUS Learning Exchange, allowing them to advance to Level 2 assignments.
• Give the Learner a formal Level 2 offer, similar to a job offer.
• Create an eLicensing account with the Learner. 
  
  • Add the Learner to your agency’s roster, so that they can be documented on all calls that they attend. 
• Request a Level 2 ID Card by filling out the Document Request Form found on the EMS ConnectME website, Agency Information page.
  • Maine EMS sends formal ID cards to those who achieve Level 2 in EMS ConnectME.
