2016 FFM Training Information

In webinar now, she said the training is not live yet, but will be "soon." So far, looks like we will only have one account (MLMS) as opposed to last year (CMS + MLM).

Going over training from vendors (for fee) and MLMS (will still be free).

They (CMS) is supposed to be getting rid of the Medicare Learning Network and have us do everything via the CMS Portal. Maybe that's changed. Thanks for the live update(s), Russell!

Allen the MLN is gone and you will go through the cms portal.

Thanks, I called Regtap and they cancelled my current sign up ( Waiting List ).
Then went back in and signed up for Friday's. Hope that works

After spending 75 minutes on it today, my advice is: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

 

[G.Gordon]

Exactly. I don't need a webinar to talk about the training site, I need the dang training site up and running so I can get this crap out of the way.

 

[bluediamond]

If you're not new to this Mom is correct, it is a waste of time.

Your wise advice is especially true if the CMS Webinar presenters are giving out inaccurate information, as Blue Diamond said they gave Russell today, about the Medicare Learning Network.

So right. After two years of this the slides were self explanatory. Skip the webinar. Now just ready to train.

FFM certification training went "live" for Assisters at the end of August. Here's a slide deck..

And the Assister training overview page...

From the content of the slides, Agents/Brokers will follow the same training pathway and procedures as Assisters.. I see Agents/Brokers hyperlinks on some of the screenshots. In fact, they might be active, but CMS forgot to tell us.
