The idea came from you ! We obviously prefer to see you at the farm, it’s more friendly and it helps to create friendships. But since our first job (farming) takes a lot of time, and as we have a lot (a loooot) to transmit, we weren’t able to share everything in one session, so there were two training sessions : initiation and development. And as we are far away in the Gers, traveling is expensive. Some paid much more for transportation and housing than for training ! Beyond the carbon impact, it’s a shame to “waste” money that could be used to buy wonderful seeds !

As we do not want to sacrifice the harvest of our chefs and do a 6-day training, we decided that all the theoretical part could be viewed online, then the practical part would be kept on the farm, in a single training session of 3 days.

It also allows those who are really far away and who could not in any case ever come on site, to still be able to learn from home.

We have created interactive content: videos, tutorials, diagrams, illustrations, … which are organized into 7 modules and put on line on a training platform. Once registered, you have an access code and you can view the training as in a MOOC (massive open online course). Each week a new module is unlocked, and you can watch the videos as many times as you want for 3 months for each level. In order to adapt to your needs and your budget, we have classified the modules into two levels of training, level 1 (initiation) and level 2 (development). You can easily do Level 1 in 2019, then apply for Level 2 in 2020, … do it at your own pace !

You could do that and spend hours and hours searching for information on the internet. That’s what we did to get there. So to avoid this long journey, to get around the pitfalls and learn faster, we suggest you take advantage of our 5 years experience. You will save a lot of time by having all the necessary content available in one place in a training course that has been designed to allow you to learn everything in a logical sequence. You will also have access to us available to answer your questions and be by your side.

You will have access to courses modules that will be accessible via the link we will send you.

Also, you’ll have access to:

• A private Facebook group for members where you can continue to exchange during and after the training.
• A forum accessible throughout the training to ask us all your questions. Answers already posted will also answer your questions so do not hesitate to go take a look.
• Our list of suppliers
• Our list of bibliographical references
• Documents (press articles, pamphlet …) on Hydroponics, Aquaponics, urban agriculture, gardening techniques and regulations.

Do not forget that we will be at your disposal to answer your questions.

You will have access to all training courses for 3 months so be sure to take notes while you watch. Remember that if you have questions, you can ask them directly on the training forum as long as your connection is valid. After that, you can continue to chat with other people on the private Facebook group that you have access to.

Well, no! As long as you have access to the courses on the platform (that is for 3 months), you are completely free to manage your time as you see fit. No schedule to meet, no exam requirements … This is the advantage of online training: minimum constraints.

No, sorry. The payment of a training gives access to it only to one person. Do not share your credentials with anyone else as we will be able to tell and you may be excluded from the training.

However, if you are a couple or you are associates/colleagues who want to follow the formation together, you will be able to profit from a reduction under presentation of a justifying document.

It’s reaaaaaally easy! The online course platform we have chosen is very easy to use. If you have managed to arrive on this page of questions, then you will be able without any problem to follow the training online very easily.

One of the benefits of online training is that you can manage your time as you wish. And if you have decided to follow this training, it is because it contains what interests you.

We designed it to be as interactive, lively and human as possible. Here, we will not address you in a formal tone as it might be in traditional training. No distance here. You will even come to enjoy learning. Yes!

Of course!

This online training is accessible everywhere. This means that wherever you are, you will be able to follow it, which is the advantage of a digital training.

On the other hand, the content may be less adapted to the climatic and material conditions of your geographical situation. That said, we try to address hydroponics as it exists around the world (do not hesitate to consult our videos Hydroponic World Tour on our Youtube page (in French !)). You will discover concepts and practices that apply regardless of your location. It’s all about adaptation.

The training “hydroponics” consists of two levels accessible exclusively online. If you wish to interact with us, all you have to do is ask us your questions either on the forum or by e-mail. We are here to guide you and accompany you so you will not be alone in front of your screen.

And if you want to meet us and discuss more practical and precise aspects, you can follow up the online training with the practical training. So you will go on site in our hydroponic micro-farm, at home in the Gers. There, you will have a complete accompaniment.

To come to the farm, you must have followed and completed the two levels of online hydroponics training beforehand. Like that everyone arrives with the same level! On site we will have three days to better know your projects individually and answer all your questions. Practical workshops are organized to show you “by doing” the everyday life of a hydroponic or bioponic farmer. We will share with you our farmers little secrets, and you can put into practice what you have learned in theoretical training. From sowing to harvesting, through growing plans, you will acquire all the necessary reflexes to manage your future farm.

The courses are intended for people wishing to go to a professional installation and for individuals wishing to create their own hydroponic vegetable garden.
