QROP/BRINJEL software training
Online training 100% covered by VIVEA / OPCO / France Travail
A word from the trainer
For me, QROP/BRINJEL has become an indispensable piece of software for my vegetable farm.
Not only does it save us time and make us more efficient, it also makes it easier to see and manage our day-to-day tasks.
We're not always sure which change makes us better from one year to the next, but one thing's for sure, QROP is one of them. There's clearly been a before and an after.

What's the difference between Qrop and Brinjel?
QROP is a free planning software that installs on your PC. It's completely free and was developed by Andrée Hoeraeu in collaboration with Atelier Paysans. The software can therefore be used freely. On the other hand, it's not entirely complete: some bugs persist and certain functions are no longer developed. Despite this, it was the tool I used until the release of Brinjel, its successor. Brinjel is QROP version 2, fully on-line and still developed by the same programmer. This new version has fewer bugs and more features. In exchange, a subscription of €5 per month is required to support ongoing development and cover operating costs.
The good thing is that you can use QROP for years before deciding to switch to Brinjel, without any difficulty, as the schedules are exportable and compatible.
Why choose QROP/BRINJEL training?
Over the past 4 years, I've had the opportunity to work and plan all my gardens and projects with QROP. In 2 years, I've run a dozen face-to-face training courses in France and the Spanish Basque Country. The initial 2-day training I set up before creating the online version enabled me to deepen my understanding of the needs and challenges faced by QROP users. This version is therefore the fruit of many hours of face-to-face practice with hundreds of students.
Course duration: 7 hours, which you can complete at your own pace over a 3-week period.
This detailed, step-by-step asynchronous training course lets you learn to use the planning software at your own pace, without difficulty, even without prior knowledge.
Prerequisites: computer and Internet access.
Our training includes documents, video lessons and practical exercises, and ends with an assessment (10-question quiz) to check your understanding and measure your learning.
Access to the content takes place on the first day of the session (chosen in the registration form -link below-) at 9am on the "www.lecercle.lesjardinsdelavalette.com" platform.
People with disabilities (PSH): Don't hesitate to contact us. We can work with you to meet your needs and make the necessary adaptations.
