CRRU's residential CPD Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) training course combines theoretical study with practical experience to equip participants with the necessary skills to perform the role of a PAM Operator.
During this course, trainees will acquire a thorough knowledge of this important role and a broad insight into the industry requirements for PAM mitigation. In addition to detailed theory, the course includes a practical introduction to using and setting-up the PAM system and associated PAMGuard software. This is followed by a practical course component which includes a full demonstration at sea, where participants will get to apply the classroom theory in practice: deploying the system from a boat and subsequently analysing data acquired from real-time acoustic recordings.
The 2.5 day continuing professional development (CPD) course will be delivered by highly experienced PAM personnel with years of industry and acoustic know-how, and will include reference material, practical guidelines and worksheets etc.
The cost for the course is £650 per person (which uniquely includes full board (all accommodation (4 nights) and food costs)).
