COLEAD is ISO 21001 certified. This certification is a management system standard designed specifically for educational organisations
Our e-learning platform is a valuable resource for teachers who wish to add additional materials to their courses. For students, it is a free and comprehensive learning source that will help them test their knowledge.
We coordinate learning activities, in the field or at a distance, to enable learners to achieve their objectives. Our ‘cascade’ training system is the result of more than 20 years of development:
Based on 15 years’ experience in the sustainable development of agriculture and agribusiness in ACP countries, 600 references are available in this online resource centre. Training tools on sustainable agricultural practices and production guides are reserved for programme beneficiaries and members of COLEAD.
It's a very informative and user friendly platform for all producers, trainers and everyone in the agricultural production chain.
The training opened my mind to familiar areas, health safety and hygiene, and new areas such as organic agriculture and ethical production.
The offline mode is a plus because it allows experts to continue learning in the absence of an internet connection.
The COLEAD platform is open to everyone. It is aimed at professionals in the agricultural sector including students in related fields, and technical and/or educational experts who can support actors in the sector through advice or training.

COLEAD offers training on 8 themes, all related to the agricultural sector: sustainable production and trade, food production and processing, environmental management, organizational management and development, food safety, respect for the individual and professional development, and plant health.
These trainings are intended for agricultural professionals, including students in the relevant fields, as well as technical and/or pedagogical experts who can support industry stakeholders through advisory services or training.
COLEAD also offers self-paced courses that you can follow at your own pace on topics that interest you. For more information, please refer to the "Self-paced training courses" section.
COLEAD also provides instructor-led trainings (facilitated by a trainer). These sessions are reserved for COLEAD partner-beneficiaries. You can also check the list of ongoing and upcoming instructor-led trainings on this page.

The platform is completely free of charge. Access to the self-study courses is open to everyone. However, the tutored training courses are exclusively reserved for learners from partner organisations that benefit from COLEAD and its programmes.
