Participant Training

The PAMF Team has been hard at work developing new and improved training opportunities for PAMF participants that work for each person’s individual learning style. Check out the options below to learn all you need to know about participating in PAMF!

AAMP Grant Recipient Training Course

If you received PAMF Active Adaptive Management Program (AAMP) grant funding, anyone collecting or submitting data to PAMF must enroll in the online training course. Instructions for how to register for the AAMP-specific course can be found here.

Please note that there are two other PAMF Moodle courses, “PAMF Participant Training” and “Refresher: An overview of PAMF” (see below). These are for non-grant recipients, and do not fulfill the AAMP grant training requirements.

Self-Guided PAMF Participant Training Course

If you are new to the PAMF program, you can now enroll in our self-guided PAMF Participant Training course! This training takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete and covers all aspects of PAMF participation – from the pitfalls of monitoring to submitting reports. It is free to sign up and can be taken at any time and at any pace. Instructions for how to register can be found here.

Why enroll in this training course?

This PAMF training course is a great, comprehensive resource for any new, existing, or interested PAMF participant! The course allows you to learn about PAMF in your own time and provides all of the resources you need to be successful. It can also be a great resource for training seasonal employees or volunteers to help enroll or monitor your Phragmites sites. Completing this course will earn you a certificate that states you are a certified PAMFer and have successfully been trained in how to collect and submit high quality data.

This short course does not require any account registration and allows you jump around to learn more about a specific topic. Click “log in as guest” on the Moodle homepage to access the course!
