What is the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design?
The Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design is internationally recognised as the next step for people who have done a Permaculture Design Course. The Diploma formally recognises and accredits a persons permaculture practice. The Diploma is not a taught course like the Permaculture Design Course, it is a scheme for supporting an extended period of self-directed learning. It is based around the projects and activities that you are involved in and that you set yourself. You plan and carry out your own course of self-managed study, taking on projects of your own choosing and carrying out the permaculture design process with these projects. You document your work and put it together in a portfolio. This work is assessed by diploma holders and accredited by the Permaculture Association. | The Process:

My Tutor:
Richard Perkins is my chosen tutor, as I did my PDC with him twice and I appreciate his commitment to do things differently.
This diploma is a very different set up to the one which is normally offered through the Permaculture Association. This is partly born out of Richards experience of his Diploma which was considerably more sparse in its delivery and support.
I feel very privileged to have Richard as my tutor, as this method of deadlines and outputs works for me. He is also keen that Permaculture is practiced in the world and this "fast Track" diploma enables that to happen.
