The Online Permaculture Design Certificate is a 72 hour theoretical course based on Bill Mollison’s Designers Manual. It teaches how we can use today’s tools and technology to create a more sustainable and equitable world for all species. Permaculture is more than just gardening, it is a design system for a truly sustainable and self sufficient lifestyle. The course is run by the PermEco Inc., taught by Tom Kendall and your certificate is recognised and highly regarded world wide.

Please note: Our courses are non-denominational; we do not include any spiritual practices and welcome people from all cultural, spiritual and religious backgrounds. The course material is science and observation based.
We deliver the theoretical Online Permaculture Design Certificate course with lots of visual examples of implementations on our farm. Tom will answer any questions that may have come up via live streams in the course. Questions can be submitted to us via a simple form at the end of each lesson, and will be answered during the weekly live stream. The live stream will be saved in the “Old Q & A sessions” course, if you cannot see it live on the day you can watch it there. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NEXT LIVE STREAM SESSIONS WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY 12 JANUARY DUE TO CHRISTMAS BREAK.
