Academy FAQ

Your Clean Cooling Academy questions answered

Where can I find more out information about a course? 

We’re always happy to help. Simply contact us at [email protected] and we’ll share your questions with the right team. 

How can I find out if a course is right for me? 

On each course page, you’ll find a ‘Who Should Apply’ section, that details who the course is aimed at. If you’re not sure if this relates to you, and/or you’re interested in the course material, then you can either: 

  • Apply, and explain how you feel you could benefit from the course 
  • Share your interest with [email protected], and explain your situation 

We’re all passionate about cold-chain and clean cooling at the Clean Cooling Network, so if you are too - even if you’re not the intended applicant, we may be able to provide a space. 

How do I apply for a course? 

At the bottom of each course page, there is a section called: ‘How To Apply’. This details the required information, which may include a CV and some questions to answer, as well as where you should send this to. 

When will I hear back on whether I’ve been accepted onto a course? 

This varies, but we tend to provide shortlisted candidates with 1-2 weeks' notice for in-person courses, and a few days' notice for online courses. Each course page will specify the exact details. 

What should I do if I’m not accepted onto a course? 

If you aren’t accepted onto a course, please don’t be discouraged. We keep a list of all candidates and contact those not accepted when the next cohort is released.

Foundation in Cold-Chain Student

The Foundation in Cold-Chain course opened my eyes to the vital role that energy-efficient, sustainable cold-chains play in reducing post-harvest losses, improving food security, and strengthening Rwanda’s agri-food systems.

Thanks to ACES, I am more equipped to drive sustainable transformation in Rwanda’s agriculture sector. I highly encourage other professionals to join these life-changing programmes.
