Learning Pathways

Local RegenCAN Chapters offer many sponsored practical and theoretical learning pathways. Although most courses only cost 1 FD+ (as proof of RegenCAN status), some may require a slightly higher fee.

The core RegenCAN learning platform is the Regenerative Systems Design Course  — RSD Course.

The RSD Course is a blend of online content that is provided by international experts — this being: course content, additional reading & videos, online tutoring — and in-person practicals where participants apply what they have learnt into a Volunteer 4 SA project of their choice. The many modules can be studied as stand alone courses.

100% of all international RSD Course registration fee income is used to sponsor 3rd-party courses for student volunteers from less developed countries. This initiative gives them the opportunity and provides the means for them to study the prescribed and elective 3rd-party courses. This is achieved via the edu point system.

N.B. edu points can only be earned from volunteering. e.g. uMngeni #Volunteer4SA Chapter
