Training Programme: Learn what you need to know to volunteer with confidence
The PFK Training Programme has been put together to give you confidence to work independently as a volunteer group in your local reserve, or on your property.
We plan to offer the series of four workshops at least twice per year.
Complete all four training workshops, fill up your stamp card and receive your PFK accreditation!
