The Mushroom Signals Composting training program is a comprehensive study programme that educates future composters. This blended course consists of e-learning, online live training sessions and a live masterclass. The programme consists of six modules: raw materials, pre-wetting, caramelisation, phase II, spawning and phase III. After each module, participants can take a test to receive a certificate. The masterclass concludes with a general exam and a certificate.
The training program for composters is a blended learning curriculum: a combination of e-learning and online live training sessions that concludes with a live masterclass of 4 days in the Netherlands. In the e-learning, you will learn all the backgrounds of specific stages in the composting process. Answering questions and solving practical cases will make you understand this even better. During the online live training sessions, the content from the e-learning will be reviewed and explained in more detail by the trainer. With fellow students (up to 15) you can discuss issues you encounter in daily practice. Exchanging experiences will help you optimise your operational process day by day. During the masterclass you will visit industry-leading companies in the sector, talk to the experts and discuss composting with other students. This will provide you with valuable information and tools for your daily activities and sharpen your vision of the future of your business.
