  • Training structure

    Continuing Education Department

Presentation

Phytoplankton forms the basis of aquatic food chains. This three-day course teaches the fundamentals of microalgae production in a controlled environment, as well as techniques for identifying samples from the natural environment.

Micro-certifications are short, themed training modules accessible to all, designed to offer direct and practical access to our scientific and technical expertise. They combine immersive theoretical courses with our learners and individualized practical work carried out on our aquaculture facilities.
These micro-certifications enable key skills on a specific subject to be developed in just a few hours, allowing everyone to quickly gain autonomy in putting them into practice.
