The program is capped at 26 students to ensure a high-quality, interactive learning environment. Sessions are conducted live via Zoom, making it accessible globally, with live times scheduled on Thursday mornings to accommodate participants in Australia (AEST/AEDT) and the Americas. For example, in Melbourne, classes run from 9:15am to 12:45pm. To support diverse learning needs, all lessons are recorded and uploaded for catch-up or review, ensuring attendees can master the material even if they miss a live session. The course covers the full PDC curriculum, equipping practitioners with the skills to design regenerative systems for land, community, and economy. Attendees will learn core permaculture principles, design methodologies, soil health, water management, and social permaculture applications. This event is invaluable for permaculture practitioners seeking certification from a direct source of the movement's foundational knowledge.
