The PDC 2024-5 format is hybrid online and face-to-face.
Theoretical courses and interactive exercises are available online from October 2024 onwards. You can do these modules for free or on donation-basis for your own learning, benefitting from the community, but without obtaining a PDC certificate.
If you want to earn the Permaculture Design certificate, you will need to do the practical workshops (9am-1pm) that are held on two Saturdays a month in Arlon (Belgium) throughout the season (February-November) and develop a real-life permaculture design project.
This long format of this certified long course in permaculture design (40h theory, 20h design practice) offers additional space to develop in-depth practice (32h compulsory out of 60h available) and acquire skills that will make you autonomous later on in developing your permaculture context.
At present, the same workshop is offered every month in English and French. Each time there is a summary of the course material and a short presentation, and lots of practice. It's also designed to bond the group throughout the year, and perhaps group design projects will emerge as a result of these exchanges.
It is possible to count the hours in 2024 and complete the theoretical part and the design project thanks to the certified Hybrid PDC in 2025, for example.
