Is certification transferable from one agency to another?
NO. OMRDD does not (except for its own staff) certify AMAPs; the RN completing the pours and signing the certificate does. OMRDD requires that the AMAP complete at least one errorless pour in the residence where they will be permanently assigned. It is best practice to give the person a written test, and do the pour with the RN after passing the test. If they do no pass the test, it is reasonable for them to take the medication administration course.
