Who Should Take This Course
The
Permaculture Design Course has truly transformed the lives and enhanced
the careers of thousands of people around the world, including
architects, landscapers, community developers, social workers, city
planners, teachers, students, farmers, gardeners, homeowners, business
owners and others. For anyone serious about creating a sustainable
society!
THE CURRICULUM
The A to Z of Sustainability! A more
fun or informative course would be hard to find. Our text book,
Permaculture: A Designer’s Manual, by Bill Mollison, was once reviewed
by Whole Earth saying “If information had density… this book would be a
black hole!..”
In addition to the developing country experience,
the “hands-on learning” focus of the course will be the Design Team
Exercises. As we arrive at the different parts of the curriculum, we’ll
learn how, when and where to apply those principles and techniques and,
become able to include those recommendations in the final design
project presentations.
As one of our recent design course graduates said about her course experience,
” It’s the relationship that we build with each other and with nature that will get us through anything. ”
For
those looking to get more experience in Observation Skills, Natural
Building, Sustainable Landscape Construction, Art in the Garden &
more, additional hands-on workparties will be scheduled outside of the
course.

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

Permaculture MatchmakerOne of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile. |
 |
PDCPeople who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world. |
 |
PDC VerifiedPeople who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation. |
 |
PRI PDCPeople who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world. |
 |
PDC TeacherPeople who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world. |
 |
PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
