  1. Do I need to take the P MELDS or IT MELDS? 

  1. I have not completed the MELDS or IT MELDS, but I have a college degree and ten years of experience. Can I get a waiver for this training requirement? 

  1. What if my staff or I can’t get into a MELDS or IT MELDS training before our Rising Stars for ME expiration date? 

  1. Important Information from the MRTQ PDN Training Coordinator Regarding IT MELDS & MELDS Waivers
