MICRO CERTIFICATION | Phytoplankton / Microalgae Culture

  • Training Structure

    Joint Continuing Education Department

Overview

Phytoplankton forms the basis of aquatic food chains. This 3-day course provides participants with the fundamentals of microalgae production in a controlled environment, as well as techniques for identifying samples collected from the natural environment.

Microcertifications are short, topic-specific training modules open to everyone, designed to provide direct and practical access to our scientific and technical expertise. They combine immersive theoretical courses with our learners and individualized hands-on projects carried out at our aquaculture facilities.
These microcertifications help participants develop key skills in a specific subject in just a few hours, enabling everyone to quickly gain independence in applying what they’ve learned.
