VINE MASTER PRUNERS Academy Reviews 36

The videos were really instructive, and also the masterclasses.

I am so grateful that VMP Academy has gotten me off to a good start with my new vineyard. The Academy has effectively walked me through every step of the Simonit & Sirch Method. My vines will now surely have greater health, longevity, and a more uniform productivity. Thank you, VMP Academy!

Thank you very much for solving my problem i am loving the course

I have followed the S&S on-line courses (Basic and Advanced Guyot & Cordon) and absolutely loved them. It's a very good foundation to orient yourself in the intriguing world of pruning, gain the necessary confidence and put into practice what you have learned in 'class'. The 'Academy Café' where you can ask specific questions is a very helpful and practical tool and gets you through the day to day hurdles. This course is very well organized, educational, fun, and a must for anyone wanting to learn how to prune respecting the vines and their longevity. I highly recommend the Vine Master Pruners courses!

Had a fantastic experience completing the guyot and spurred cordon practical courses and exams at the Feudi Di San Gregorio campus. Denis, the instructor was able to deliver his message clearly and effectively while also having a good sense of humour to keep the course fun. I would definitely recommend this course.

Ho partecipato al corso di potatura della Vine Master Pruner in Lombardia a inizio dicembre di quest'anno.
Un'esperienza bellissima.
Il nostro docente Livio è preparatissimo e con chiarezza e precisione riesce a trasmettere i principi del metodo Simonit & Sirch.
Il corso advanced di potatura per Guyot e Cordone Speronato è completo ed è adatto sia a chi lavora già nel settore, sia a chi, come me, è semplicemente innamorata della vigna e vuole utilizzare un metodo che rispetti le piante e le preservi.
Partecipare ai corsi Vine Master Pruner ti permette di condividere le tue esperienze con persone provenienti da tutta Europa, di confrontarsi e di imparare.
Lo rifarei mille volte.
-----------------------------------
I attended the Vine Master Pruner pruning course in Lombardy in early December this year.
A beautiful experience.
Our teacher Livio is highly trained and with clarity and precision manages to convey the principles of the Simonit & Sirch method.
The advanced Guyot and Spurred Cordon pruning course is complete and is suitable both for those who already work in the sector and for those who, like me, are simply in love with the vineyard and want to use a method that respects and preserves the plants.
Participating in Vine Master Pruner courses allows you to share your experiences with people from all over Europe, to discuss and learn.
I would do it a thousand times.

Few years ago I have heard about the so called soft or gentle pruning. I dug myself into the subject so I have find the S&S Method. Started with the demo videos, articles, etc I decided to enroll to online courses.
The site OK, userfriendly, simple, no any boolshit.
Very practical oriented based on some usefull thesises.
Last week I made the pruning courses and the exams.
If you really like vine it could be a most inspiring experience. The tutor, Livio is a real teacher with the patience, with the firmness, with the knowledge, with the humor ...etc necessary for this profession. During exams he was very correct. Speaks English very well.
Like in online, there were no idlings, boolshits. You got the service you have payed for it.
One theme I missed: the conversion of old, "traditionaly" pruned vineyards to S&S-kind. Of course I know, it is an other course in other places, etc.
Last: I recommend everybody the two books (Guyot, Cordon) ... Perseverance to purchase.
Summary I have learned so much about vine in a very good, very heterogenius companionship. A good social experience as well.
Finally: sorry for my English.

Monica was a very professional and focused teacher - 2 days of detailed pruning instruction was very valuable and a lot of fun
Highly recommended !

The online platform is a real resource for anyone who wants to learn how to prune vines. The courses are structured by type of pruning and by level of detail. The practical exercises complete the training experience at 360 degrees. The teachers are technically prepared and the environment is professional.

Very Basic course, thought it would be little detailed.
