The countdown has begun! Cotton Classing & Testing Training (CCTT25) – our highly anticipated course – is just a few weeks away, and we couldn’t be more excited to share the incredible updates we’ve made this year. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the cotton industry, CCTT25 promises to provide an exceptional learning experience targeted towards expanding your expertise and understanding of cotton quality.
What’s New at CCTT25?
At ICA Bremen, we believe in continuous improvement, and CCTT25 is no exception. This year’s programme features several updates tailored to meet the ever-changing needs of our industry:
1. Focus on CIRAD Methodologies
For the first time, we are introducing CIRAD approaches into our training. These internationally recognized methodologies focus on growing and ginning to improve fibre quality and are consistent with cutting-edge research in cotton quality evaluation. Participants will acquire practical information that is ready for use after gaining firsthand experience with these strategies.
2. Enhanced Practical Training Modules
We’ve doubled down on hands-on learning. Expect extended lab sessions where you’ll gain practical experience with state-of-the-art equipment, including High Volume Instrument (HVI) testing, Advanced Fibre Information System (AFIS) testing, stickiness detection, trash evaluation and many more.
3. Interactive Case Studies
Dive into real-world scenarios with interactive workshops that challenge you to solve common quality control issues. This approach helps you apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings.
4. Networking Opportunities
We’ve built in more time for networking, allowing you to connect with industry peers and leading experts. From coffee breaks to structured discussion panels, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to forge lasting relationships.
5. Focus on Sustainability and Recycling
Cotton’s future lies in sustainability and recycling materials, and CCTT25 includes new sessions dedicated to sustainable practices and innovations in cotton testing and production. Learn how to adapt to the growing demand for environmentally responsible solutions.
