Three of the fourteen courses are free outright, including the pesticide safety course. The rest either start free and unlock once, or open two preview lessons before you decide. There is no subscription, nothing expires, and nothing renews.
One payment unlocks every remaining lesson, the final assessment and the certificate. It does not expire and it is not a subscription.
Every price is a one-off for a single course, and it includes the final assessment and the certificate. Buying one course never obliges you to buy another.
Whole courses, start to finish, with the final assessment and the certificate included. No card, no trial.
Begin reading immediately. The opening lessons are open to everyone; unlock the rest and the exam once, and it stays unlocked.
The diagnostic and certification-track courses, where the material is laboratory- and audit-grade. Two preview lessons are open before you decide.
Prices are per course in US dollars. Learners paying in NGN, KES, GHS or ZAR are charged the local equivalent at the day's rate, with the amount shown before confirming.
The point of this institute is that the practice spreads. A price that keeps a smallholder or an extension officer out is working against that, so there are three ways round it — and none of them require you to explain yourself at length.
Write two sentences about what you farm or advise on and which course you need. The committee reviews requests weekly and grants most of them.
Ten seats or more on one course are priced per group rather than per head, and one co-ordinator can track everyone's progress.
The three open courses are not samples. They carry the same assessment, the same certificate and the same committee support as the paid ones.
Every unlock you have paid for, with its reference. A real deployment would email a PDF receipt for each one.
If yours isn't here, write to us and a person will answer — the fee is not a subject we send people to a help centre about.
No. Each price is a single payment for a single course, and the course stays unlocked. There is no renewal, no card kept on file, and nothing to cancel.
Courses marked free to start open their first four or five lessons to everyone. When you reach the boundary the next lesson shows what unlocking costs, and your progress and your notes up to that point are kept. Three courses are free the whole way through and never reach a boundary at all.
Because the certificate is the part an employer or a buyer relies on, and it has to mean that somebody worked through the whole course. Knowledge checks inside the free lessons are not gated — you can test yourself as you read. It is the final assessment, and only that, which needs the course unlocked.
Yes. Co-operatives, colleges and NGOs buy seats in blocks of ten or more at a group rate, with one co-ordinator able to see who has finished what. Write to us with the course and the number of seats and you will get a quote and an invoice.
Ask for a refund within thirty days and you will get it, with no argument, as long as you have not already claimed the certificate. The free lessons exist so that this rarely comes up.
