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. Rescue Earth will be offering 10,000 free course memberships to qualifying RegenCAN members.
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 Rescue Earth volunteer project of their choice. The many modules can be studied as stand alone courses.
RSD Course Qualifications
There are 48 RSD Course Qualifications that qualify as (Basic, Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced, Specialist or Master) Holistic Design Certificates in:
