Why would you consider e-Learning?                  

• The proportion of individuals joining e-Learning interactive web-based training for professional upgrade and for recreational purposes is growing immensely
• As e-Learning interactive web-based training denotes the physical separation of the learner from the instructor, it is characterised by non-contiguous communication, meaning that the learner and instructor are separated not only in space but also in time
• e-Learning reaches out to learners wherever they live or wish to study
• If you have access to e-mail, the popular e-Learning method would be the preferred choice
• The e-Learning learner is typically in full, partial or no employment and / or having family and social commitment

What are the advantages of e-Learning over virtual real-time education?

• A distinguished and proven method in education
• Unique combination of instructor-initiated (synchronous) and self-paced (asynchronous) training, thus greater flexibility as it allows learners to study at their own pace over a longer period of time
• Ability to complete your course as quickly or slowly as circumstance dictates
• Eliminating the technical set-up requirements associated with virtual real-time courses
• All information in clear and easy to understand modules via e-mail, attached PDF, XLSX and JPG documents
• One learner per instructor, thus undivided attention. Also unlimited e-mail and / or cell phone access to instructor whilst doing the course
• Recognising the immense social interaction needs of all human beings, we will spend a considerable amount of time guiding you through the material, explaining the finer detail and addressing your questions
• Ability to continue without interruption, even during unexpected events such as the COVID-19 pandemic
• Reduced course rate

Why registering for a course at the Academy?

• You are dealing with experienced mushroom specialists, in other words, professionals who completed post graduate degrees at universities, worked at research institutes and served the private industries over years
• Wild mushroom identification is a field of specialisation. Edible and poisonous wild mushroom species cannot always be easily distinguished, thus risky when dealing with amateurs
• Value for money. A surprisingly high number of wild mushroom forays and / or workshops are run by self-taught amateurs, with no applicable or formal qualifications. Training should preferably be left to the professionals. Especially when dealing with the identification of wild mushrooms
