A generous 24-week pace
Some students have expressed difficulty in getting an entire online PDC done in just 10-12 weeks, so I’ve doubled the time to allow full, stress-free absorption of the materials.
Over 700 instructional modules
That includes blackboard-style videos, rich animations, weekly Q&A, and detailed PDFs; anywhere from 5 to 14 modules will be released weekly.
Q&A with me, weekly
After watching the core modules, you’ll have a chance to ask me any follow-up questions; all sessions will be recorded and made available to you.
Community town hall (24 / 7)
A sleek, modern interaction portal that far exceeds old-school discussion boards; the diversity and talents of our student body will fuel friendships and working relationships that last beyond the course.
Daily help from PDC-certified TAs
You’re never alone: A team of fantastic teaching assistants monitor the discussions and jump in with answers throughout the week.

“In the early 1970s, it dawned on me that no one had ever applied design to agriculture. When I realized it, the hairs went up on the back of my neck. It was so strange. We’d had agriculture for 7,000 years, and we’d been losing for 7,000 years — everything was turning into desert. So I wondered, can we build systems that obey ecological principles?”
- Bill Mollison
Permaculture is that system, and the PDC course is the quickest way to master it, step-by-step. It is the absolute foundation for all that comes after it.
