Participating in trainings

PAM trainings are free for members. PAM covers the teaching, the meals included in the course programme, your travel costs, and accommodation when needed. You will receive detailed information about the course schedule and other practical matters by email.

Registration for training courses

You can register for PAM trainings through PAM Campus.

1. Log in with online banking credentials or Mobile ID.
2. Choose the training you want to register for.
3. Fill in the form, check your details and click “Enroll”.

Participants are selected in two ways. Your place may be confirmed immediately upon registration or after the registration period ends. The waiting list does not work on a first-come, first-served basis — everyone on the list is considered equally. Being on the waiting list means you may be offered a place, but it is not an automatic spot. We will contact everyone who has registered personally.

Once your participation is confirmed, you will receive more information about the training by email. For online trainings, you will get a participation link. For in-person trainings, you will receive the location and schedule details.

Please remember to inform the organiser or email koulutus@pam.fi if you are unable to attend.

Taking part in online training

Do you want to improve your skills easily and at your own pace? Online training is a great way to do that. You only need basic computer skills – like using the internet and the Teams app.

Get ready for online training – here’s how to succeed

• Check your equipment – Use a computer with a working camera and microphone.
• Stable internet connection – Make sure your internet works smoothly and fast enough during the whole training. A good connection helps your learning.
• Keep your camera on if possible – The camera helps build a sense of community and makes it easier to talk with others and the trainer.
• Quiet place to study – Choose a place where you can focus and speak privately without noise.
• Be fully committed – The training includes group work and active discussions. You must be present on every training day – do not plan other things at the same time.

Travel and accommodation

PAM pays for the travel to the course site in accordance with PAM’s travel policy. We prefer public transport and carpooling when travelling. More detailed travel instructions can be found in the course invitation. Travel costs of less than 6 euros will not be compensated.

PAM pays for accommodation for long distance travellers during the course. You will be asked during registration if you need accommodation. PAM will take care of reserving the accommodation. Accommodation is in double rooms.

A single room is only paid for due to health reasons. A doctor’s recommendation of accommodation in a single room must be sent at least two weeks before the training starts to koulutus@pam.fi. It is also possible to get a single room at your own cost if you pay the difference between the room rates (double and single room) and if rooms are available in the hotel.

Credits from PAM’s training

As a member, you can earn study credits from certain courses. Credited training courses make competence visible. It also makes credit transfer for studies easier in later studies. In cooperation with WEA’s learning centre, PAM records certain courses in the national Koski study register.

In the event of an accident

All PAM’s students are insured through the insurance company TURVA. Inform the course leader immediately after the accident.
