Permaculture Education

Permaculture provides positive & practical solutions to many of the issues and challenges confronting us as we move into the new millenium. Education and training is the key to being empowered with the skills and information to really make a difference.

"Permaculture Education" was established by Robyn Francis in 1989 and has trained over 2000 people from interstate and overseas. Based at Djanbung Gardens. "Permaculture Education" networks with groups in New Zealand, Indonesia and East Timor & is looking forward to extending it's services and support to other Asia-Pacific neighbours. In October 2003, Robyn Francis through 'Permaculture Education' became the first approved trainer and assessor of APT, Accredited Permaculture Training, in Australia. The new accredited training commenced in January 2004.

Accredited Permaculture Training (APT™) will offer nationally recognised qualifications: Certificates 1-4 in Permaculture and Diploma of Permaculture. People who have previously completed a Permaculture Design Course will have this knowledge recognised under the new system and can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning for the new qualifications based on their practical experience and skills in permaculture applications.
