Find out more about PDRMA online learning... New option: Register online for a training program! Exciting news! PDRMA has made it easier for you to register and track your training progress. Now you can sign up and pay for a training program online. You can also see your own personal training records. Here's what you need to know first: Your unique ID. Before, you logged in to the PDRMA training calendar using your agency's user name and password. Now you’ll log in using a “unique ID” -- your own individual user name and password. (Learn about the benefits of having a unique ID.) Your user ID is your agency's three-digit number plus your first initial and last name. If your agency number is 101 and your name is John Parks, your ID would be 101jparks. Your password. The first time you log in, your password is pdrma, but you will be required to change it immediately for better security. If you have taken a PDRMA Online Learning Program in the past, you may have already changed your password. Ready to log in? To see the latest PDRMA training program offerings, go to the PDRMA Training Calendar. If you have questions, or your unique ID doesn't work, email or call PDRMA Training Coordinator KimMarie Trostle at ktrostle@pdrma.org or 630-435-8934.
