Step 3: Take the online assessment test for each module. You must have a GLOBE account to take the assessment tests. Once you pass the tests (80% of the answers correct), you will become a GLOBE teacher and can begin entering GLOBE data on the website or on the GLOBE mobile app.
For GLOBE Observers:
The following modules must be completed to become a trained GLOBE Observer (to enable you to enter data for any protocol):
- Introduction to GLOBE (on the eTraining home page)

For Trained GLOBE Users:
To be considered trained in a protocol, you must complete the assessment tests for an Introduction to a Sphere module (Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere or Pedosphere) and the protocol you wish to be trained in. You only need to pass an Introduction module once. Log-in is required to access the assessment tests.
