Online Permaculture Design Certificate Course – continuing intake: click to enrol now!

We recommend you try to finish the course in 12 weeks or less. This will enable you to keep the momentum, it will require you to study 5-6 hours per week. You are able to finish the course quicker if you can. As the course is self paced and we understand that life sometimes takes over, you are able to take as long as you like, but we recommend you allocate a certain amount of hours each week so you establish a rhythm and will finish the course.

You will need to complete 90% of the course plus submit an assignment in order to get your certificate. The assignment details will be shown to you in Day 9. The assignment will be assessed by Tom, and if there are no problems with the design you will be sent your Permaculture Design Certificate.

You will be invited to join the online course group on our social network section of the website. The group will keep you updated with messages and news during the course, please check the group regularly. We will also have a forum for the online permaculture design certificate group which will function as a question and answer forum, where students and facilitators can answer participants’ questions.

We feel that it is urgent for this information to go into the world. We will add more material in time as it becomes available. You will be able to re-visit the course as graduates, to ensure you will be able to absorb the information and find any new information. Tom and Zaia are also available to our graduates for any questions or assistance with graduates’ projects. Questions can be asked through the social group or the forum for the PDC course.

This course is offered by donation (pay what you can afford). We function solely by donation, and we can only continue to do so if everyone who can contribute does. For an indication as to the value of this course, most online certificate PDC courses cost between $800 and $1,000.  If you are in a position to pay it forward, please do. By paying more, you will be assisting us to educate those in less fortunate situations, as we sponsor people in poorer countries so that they can spread this knowledge within their communities. We understand that in these challenging times a lot of people may be unable to pay it forward, and we are grateful for whatever support you are able to give us.
