Our Permaculture Design Course syllabus is currently undergoing radical transformation to bring you a more interactive, hands on, practical and immersive experience!

This is a 72hr + Course which gives you an internationally recognized qualification and you will receive a Certificate upon completion.
Upon completion each participant will understand Permaculture Design Principles and present their own Permaculture Design, with the facilitators offering ongoing Mentor Support and Resources not only throughout the duration of the course, but post commencement.

The course will run one weeknight (usually Wednesdays) a week for 5 and a half months, from 6:00pm - 9:30pm, to ensure people can go about their daily lives and still have a fruitful learning experience. There are 3 Saturday classes for hands on activities, field trips and Presentation day.

As Facilitators, we are passionate about spreading Permaculture to every individual, and provide care for our students well-being and learning.

Our Courses are unique as classes provide a break from the regular 'chalk and talk' academic environment, focusing on each persons learning style to give a variety of teaching methods and processes that compliment the diversity of a group.

You will learn how to make more informed and conscious choices, you will develop an understanding of the Natural world, you will design various garden, housing and social systems for wholistic outcomes, you will get your hands dirty and rediscover the radical responsibility we have to the Earth that sustains us.
