Learn to rear insects properly, from a first colony on a shelf to a documented small commercial process.
A free, self-paced introduction to insect biology, lifecycle, and husbandry basics. Eleven modules, no card required: the same material we wish we had had in year one.
An eight-week practical track for people running or building a working colony: substrate science, climate control, harvest and processing, and the failure modes that quietly kill yields.
Facility planning, HACCP preparation, regulatory navigation, and the economics of scaling toward commercial volumes, grounded in the assumptions we are willing to defend.
Small live cohorts with office hours, a private channel, and access to our research team when a cohort is running. Learn alongside people solving the same problems.

The core curriculum centres on Tenebrio molitor (mealworm), with applied modules for black soldier fly and house cricket. The principles transfer across most farmed species.
No. Entolab can issue a completion record for the paid tracks, but it is not a statutory qualification or an industry-wide credential. No such thing exists yet for this industry.
Yes. The Commercial track includes up to five seats, and we offer custom group pricing beyond that. Talk to us.
Practical training for hobbyists, smallholders, and operators who want cleaner records before they scale. Self-paced foundations, downloadable protocols, and small live cohorts when there is enough demand.
