Program details
Overview
This AEC programme develops the knowledge and skills needed to operate and manage an organic vegetable farm. Coursework covers soil management, integrated pest control, organic growing practices, farm administration, and marketing strategies for small-scale agricultural operations. The programme totals 795 hours over 18 months, delivered 100% online except for a hands-on summer internship, with classes held two full days per week, either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. Graduates earn an Attestation d'études collégiales (AEC) and are prepared to launch or manage an organic market garden operation, applying sustainable growing methods alongside farm business and marketing skills. The programme is aimed at adults seeking a career shift into organic agriculture, combining theoretical study with practical, hands-on farm experience gained during the required internship placement.
