PAMTech (pamtech.eu) is offering an Advanced PAMGuard course, teaching the advanced use of the leading passive acoustic monitoring research and industry software, PAMGuard (pamguard.org) for offline analysis. We are a small UK-based company made up of PAMGuard developers and experienced field acousticians who can enable you to get the most out of PAM applications. A high tutor-to-student ratio on our courses ensures participants can get individual assistance with their training requirements. Our next course is running on: 29/01/2016 and 30/01/2016 This two-day classroom-based course allows those with previous PAMGuard experience to get to grips with more advanced features, focusing on offline analysis and data management. The course will include some core analysis modules, but participants will also be able to tailor training to their particular needs by selecting from a range of optional modules including complex classifiers and localisation techniques, and the PAMGuard MATLAB library. There is also the opportunity to bring your own datasets and explore ways they can be analysed using PAMGuard. The course will take place on the Vine Trust Barge, Prince of Wales Dock, Edinburgh, EH6 7DX, Scotland, UK. Cost 350 GBP Participants must bring their own laptop running Linux or Windows (not OSX). We would recommend Windows 7/8.1 or Ubuntu 12.10+. Microsoft Access is also very useful for the course. For those wishing to follow the MATLAB module, a copy of MATLAB version 2012 or above is required. Course costs do not include accommodation, travel or food.
