TRAINING SCHEDULE

We offer workshops on four topics:

To become a NERMC trainer you must attend a "train the trainer" workshop focusing on each of the tools that you wish to learn about and subsequently be able to train others in. These workshops will not only teach you how to use the tools yourself, but will provide you with tips and information on how to train others to use the tools. The NERMC will also be providing videos that will help you to explain some of the concepts prior to going out into the field. You are not required to attend all the workshops, but will only be considered a NERMC trainer for those you have successfully completed.
