Required eTraining Modules by Sphere / Protocol

A user must complete GLOBE protocol training requirements in order to have the ability to enter data for all of GLOBE’s protocols.  This may be achieved by attending an in-person workshop or by completing three GLOBE eTraining modules as follows:

  1. Introduction to GLOBE
  2. ​​​​​​​Introduction to any one of the four GLOBE spheres
  3. ​​​​​​​Training for any single protocol within the GLOBE sphere selected for #2

​​​​​​​Consult the list below for available sphere and protocol eTrainings.
