What we do / Adult learning
We design courses, manuals and online modules for adults who run or work in agri-food businesses, for programmes that need training people will use at work.
We design every course with three frameworks, so adults with little time and mixed schooling learn something they use on Monday.
Bloom's taxonomy sets the aim. A course moves learners past remembering rules to applying, checking and making: a food safety course ends with the learner running a check in their own plant, and a business course ends with a costed plan. Bloom's digital taxonomy does the same online, so time on the learning platform, WhatsApp and webinars means searching, testing and building, not only watching.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) shapes delivery: short videos, pictures, practice on site, voice notes in a local language and printed job aids, so people with different literacy, languages and connectivity can all take part.
“A flexible, simple way of learning that links theory and practice, with new tools such as Bloom's taxonomy, Padlet, QR codes and Kahoot.”Trainer course, on our learning platform
“I learned blanching techniques, what to do before drying and what to consider afterwards. The course helped me keep the colour of my dried pineapples, and keep proper work sheets.”Dried pineapple course, on our learning platform
“These exercises did not stay abstract. Working on real cases put words, and above all figures, on situations I live every day as a business owner. Break-even, gross and net margin, the weight of fixed costs on whether a company survives: it all means something different when you live it yourself.”Finance course, on our learning platform
We write curricula, workbooks, factsheets and facilitator manuals, and train trainers to deliver them. One coach reaches a few firms; a trained trainer and a good course reach many more. Training is tied to coaching, so people apply what they learn.
Courses run in person, online or mixed, in English and French. The Sense learning platform prepares people before a workshop and follows up after it, so time together goes to practice. We also build tools people use at work, such as templates, checklists and an AI-assisted risk register.
