The suggested methodology of collection of the information are various means questionnaires,

checklists, live interviews and study visits, online surveys, etc. The questionnaire serves as a

guide regarding information (existing or required) that may be useful in understanding the needs
and strengths of the VET professionals and organic farmers in the practice of vermicomposting.

For this research we recommend to use Semistructured in-depth interviews, during study visits,

focus groups, online meetings or structured as an online surveys.

Semistructured in-depth interviews are commonly used in qualitative research and are the most

frequent qualitative data source. This method typically consists of a dialogue between
researcher and participant, guided by a flexible interview protocol and supplemented by follow-

up questions, probes and comments. The method allows the researcher to collect open-ended
data, to explore participant thoughts, feelings and beliefs about a particular topic and to delve

deeply into personal and sometimes sensitive issues.

Overall, semistructured interviewing requires both a relational focus and practice in the skills

of facilitation.

Skills include:

⮚ determining the purpose and scope of the study,

⮚ identifying participants,

⮚ considering ethical issues,
