Posted by James Reid about 10 years ago
Our first Permaculture Design Course (PDC) will take place from the 19th - 31st of May 2015 and will be certified by the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia.
The full 72 hour internationally recognised PDC will be held on site at the UK's first Permaculture Research Institute, PRI Tap o' Noth in Rhynie, Aberdeenshire.
The course will be led by visiting teacher Angus Soutar, co-taught by PRI Tap o' Noth's James Reid and will also include international guest speakers.
Angus has been teaching Permaculture Design for over twenty years and, as well as being an accredited teacher through the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia, he is Principal and founder of The Northern School of Permaculture and holds a Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design, awarded in 1997. An engaging and highly experienced Permaculture teacher and somebody we are delighted to have on our team, Angus will be leading our PDC bringing with it his wealth of knowledge in ecological design, sustainable land use and enterprise.
More information on course content, costs, booking and accommodation will be available soon. Please keep an eye on our website for updates www.PRI-TAP.COM

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.

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. |
