Upcoming Permaculture Design Certificate course on the 19th August

Project: PermEco Inc.

Posted by Zaia Kendall over 12 years ago

We are getting ready for our next PDC course and have made some changes on the property for the comfort of our students.

Turning the 18 day hot compost during the PDC course

Our next PDC is coming up, starting on Sunday 19 August and finishing on Friday 31 August. We are very excited about the changes we will have made to our property by then, to increase the comfort of our students.

Changes include a larger teaching space, a larger and better equipped kitchen where students’ meals will be prepared by a permaculture chef we have taken in hand for lunches and dinners (I will be doing breakfasts myself), and more types of accommodation available for the comfort of our students. Students can still camp in their own tent, but we are making 2 cabins and backpacker style bus accommodation available at an extra charge if students wish to sleep in a bed with a solid roof over their heads.

The course is still the same exciting 72 hour course, plus Tom will show students around the property to view practical examples and students will also be made responsible for some of their own comforts, like a hot shower (they have to light and stoke the fire which heats the water). Other general housekeeping duties are also shown to the students, and they will be responsible for keeping communal spaces clean and tidy. Again this shows them to take responsibility for their own environment and comforts, which we feel is a very important aspect of the course (and of life in general!).

There are currently still places available in the course, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to book into this life changing experience! Read some comments from our past students here.

Looking forward to seeing you then!

Legend of Badges

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.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People 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 PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With 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.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
