Testimonials
“It was a great course, I highly recommend it :)” Leo Murray
“This is more than Permaculture Teacher Training! It is adult education training which has reinforced many models and processes I have previously learned, working with adults by exploring the many ways people learn. I can highly recommend these tutors, their facilitation skills will enhance your journey and challenge your development to become great PC teachers. I especially liked the "curtains up/curtains down" approach to debrief the processes. Every WWOOFer and PDC student I work with benefits from my experience of this course and the resources received are top notch!
Clare Wimmer
“I gained a lot out of the course that I attended in 2016. Since then I have moved from being a shop manager into a business partner with 2 others to teach permaculture in Canterbury. It also created developments within other permaculture projects I'm involved. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, the skills and knowledge received from Robina & Finn's passionate teaching is enormous, I wish I could attend again this year!” Lillee Star
