Domains of expertise related to: 
Conidia has created training modules focusing on different problems you may encounter in your work environment.
These participatory training give you the keys to understanding your problem. They are conducted by experienced trainers. The base is: how to detect, identify and cultivate mould ...
We apply the same quality in our training than write analysis’s report: we adapt our examples to your particular case for enhanced information assimilation (eg, the mould Food, Mould and building materials). Our courses are aimed at any audience who needs to understand the world of fungi.
If your problem is specific, we can offer training adapted to your requirements. Please contact us for more details.
A sample program for a specific training is offered here.
Depending on the chosen level of training, pre-requisites may be indispensable (minimum level in biology, knowledge of microbiological manipulations ...).
