Certification
Students who take one of our 72-hour design courses will receive a Certification of Completion with the Permaculture Institute of Australia and have their names registered with this institution.. This is Bill Mollison’s (founder of permaculture) accrediting organization. Click here for more on certification.
Continuing Support Following Graduation
Students who have completed a Midwest Permaculture design course are then invited to become part of our growing network of graduates. There are three ways we attempt to support our students:
We have a separate website where all graduates can connect, share ideas and look for some assistance.
Graduates may audit any future 72-hour certification courses at half price (provided space is available).
Our objective is to support our students for as long as they need it or want it, and to encourage them to support each other.
