If you have not completed Foundation Course 4 (FC4), you will be required to watch all the lectures in FC4 before you attend the workshop, but you will not be required to have taken FC4 quizzes (we’ll set you up with a special pass so you can skip the quizzes). This is to ensure that you have a good understanding of the microscopy that will be used at the workshop.
You must pay the workshop fee of $5,999 in full.
You are responsible for obtaining your own travel, medical, and medical evacuation insurance before attending the workshop. Failure to do so may result in you being refused admission to the workshop and a refund being withheld. You must provide evidence of the insurance if requested by the Soil Food Web School.
You will be required to attend Safety Training and to sign the “Workshop Handbook” on day 1 of the workshop.

Prerequisites for entering Stage 3 of the CTP of GTP. Students must meet all of the following:

All students are required to make (at home) sufficient compost for use in Stage 3, which is where they will use compost and liquid amendments to regenerate a small patch of land.
The compost needed for Stage 3 must meet the minimum biological requirements as set out in the CTP/GTP Course Manual.
Students will need to perform a Remote Assessment of their compost before they can enroll in Stage 3. This is to ensure that students do not attempt to regenerate their soils using inadequate compost, which can result in failure and disappointment.
All students will be required to pay the enrolment fee for Stage 3, if they have not already done so.
Once the quality of the student’s compost has been verified, the student will be able to enroll in Stage 3 and will be assigned to an Instructor/Mentor who will guide them through the process of correctly preparing for their final project.
If students need additional support with preparation of their compost for use in Stage 3, they can consult an Instructor/Mentor for assistance (see below for more information).
