Alpaca breeding courses

With the support of ANIM-Alpaga (the French national alpaca industry alliance), we run training courses for individuals and professionals alike — from complete beginners to experienced breeders who want to go further, particularly in genetics.

Shearing a black alpaca, one of the skills taught on our courses
Level 1

Getting started

Everything you need to know before buying your first animals: needs, feeding, fencing and shelters, routine care, halter handling, shearing and regulations.

Level 2

Going further

For established breeders: selection, assessing fibre, matings and colour genetics — especially breeding for black and grey, the trickiest colours to achieve.

Qualiopi certified, eligible for VIVEA and AIF funding

Our courses are Qualiopi certified and can be funded, notably through VIVEA for farmers and the AIF (individual training grant) for jobseekers in France. Depending on your situation, you may have nothing left to pay.

Sessions run in small groups several times a year. Get in touch to find out the next dates and explore your funding options.
