build your competence

Start learning today

Whether you are taking your first steps into recirculating aquaculture or looking to deepen your existing expertise,
the SmartAkva Learning Centre gives you access to practical and relevant e-learning designed for the aquaculture industry. 

SmartAkva offers a tiered learning system, based on three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each level contains several courses that build on the previous. You start where you are, and when you're done, you can do something specific.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

What can you offer that I cannot get at other online courses?

A tiered programme, not a single course. We start with the biology — not the components. How the levels work:

  • Level Bronze – Fundamentals
Courses that build the foundation: the system, water quality, fish physiology, microbiology and technology.

  • Level Silver – Troubleshooting
Courses that build on Bronze: diagnostics and problem-solving in daily operations.

  • Level Gold – Intervention
Courses that build on Silver: designing corrective interventions for complex challenges.

Each level builds on the last. You start where you are. When you're done with a course, you can do something specific — and you know the next level assumes you've just learned this.

Can I combine e-learning with face-to-face training?

Yes. SmartAkva Learning Centre can be combined with practical, face-to-face training to create a learning programme tailored to your needs. In addition to e-learning, SmartAkva offers seminars and workshops, on-site RAS training, fish welfare training and company-specific training programmes.

E-learning can provide the theoretical foundation, while face-to-face training allows participants to discuss specific challenges, work with practical examples and apply their knowledge in real-world situations. Training can be adapted to your team’s knowledge level, operational needs and production requirements.

Can the training programme be adapted to our team’s needs?

Yes. SmartAkva can tailor the learning programme to your organisation’s specific competence needs, experience level and operational challenges. You can combine individual e-learning courses with seminars, workshops, on-site RAS training and other customised training activities

How can I choose my courses?


SmartAkva offers a Knowledge Mapping Service for companies that want to identify competence levels and knowledge gaps within their teams.  By assessing your organisation's current knowledge and operational needs, we can help identify relevant areas for training and recommend a targeted learning approach. 

Do I need previous experience ?

No previous experience is required. The courses are designed for different levels of experience, including people who are completely new to RAS, as well as experienced operators, technicians, engineers and managers.

For beginners, the introductory courses provide a solid foundation in the fundamental principles of RAS and land-based aquaculture. More advanced courses are available for those who already have experience and want to deepen their knowledge.

When can I start studying ?

You can start studying whenever it suits you.
Our e-learning courses are flexible and available online, so you can begin at a time that fits your schedule and learn at your own pace.
