Aquaculture Solutions offers Aquaculture and Aquaponics Training Courses at the Urban Aquaponics commercial aquaponics farm in Pretoria. 
 
Over many years of practical commercial aquaponics farming, as well as extensive testing and trialling of new innovations, we have a sound idea of what really works and what does not. Through our courses we look forward to sharing our achievements as well as our setbacks with you, giving you real-world insights to become the best aquaponics farmer you can be. 
 
Course attendees receive a detailed Aquaponics Course Manual which provides comprehensive theoretical information on starting and running their own aquaponics system(s).  The time between lectures is spent in the tunnels and fish house, seeing the theory operating in practice.
 
The Aquaponics Courses are presented (in English) by Leslie Ter Morshuizen who has devoted his life to the study and farming of fish. With an MSc in Ichthyology, hands-on experience as a fish farmer, as a the writer of peer reviewed research and having a passion for fishing, he offers a rare blend of science, practice and enthusiasm for his subject.  He established the 1st commercial aquaponics farm in South Africa in 2012 and supplied produce to a local supermarket and delis for 9 years.  Leslie enjoys sharing his knowledge of sustainable, responsible fish farming and aquaponics.  Course attendees are challenged to verbalise their needs, set their goals and assess their habits/mindsets in order to focus their awareness and determination on succeeding at their aquaponics venture.
 
Past Courses have been attended by delegates from Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Uganda, Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Chad, Senegal, Singapore, Sudan, Taiwan, Ireland, England, Belgium, Croatia, Sweden, USA and South Africa, and the rapport and liaisons that we build during courses benefit the industry as a whole.
 
Dedicated courses can be offered worldwide to groups who would prefer Leslie to travel to them and train them in their own country.
