What is the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design?
The Diploma is the internationally recognized next step after completing a PDC - Permaculture Design Course.
The Diploma formally recognizes and accredits your practice of permaculture.
This is particularly important for individuals who are interested in teaching permaculture, offering permaculture services and/or developing and running permaculture projects.
The Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design provides recognition of a person’s ability to apply permaculture ethics, principles and design skills to enhance local sustainability.
This is demonstrated through an accreditation event where the apprentice designer presents a selection of their design work and makes a portfolio of projects and activities available for inspection to a peer group made up of Diploma holders and Design Course Certificate holders.
