?Permaculture Design Certification Course?

I am offering my course as a "weekend module course" also. Most folks simply cannot take 2 – 3 weeks away from regular life. When I took my PDC in 1986 (a 3 week course), I lucked out in that I was a NY State DOT employee. I spent a long time accruing vacation time and working on some holidays. The nature of my job (sign crew, and winter radio watch dispatcher) enabled me to do massive amounts of studying to boot. Now, getting away for 16 days, the length of my course, is more difficult. At the same time I feel that the 72 hour course isn’t enough, after talking with some of the graduates and realising how much they don’t know. Offering later "advanced" courses is not the answer. Tutoring would be nice as long as travel wasn’t an issue.

Scott, though not exactly in Central Upstate NY, I took my PDC with
the Hancock Permaculture Center located in Hancock NY along the
southern tier. It was a weekend oriented class – one weekend each
month from February to June. Worked out really well just traveling
for the weekend. I think the course they have planned for the spring
is a bit farther away at a property between Hancock and the Catskills
area – but if you don’t want to take off work for two weeks, this
would be a great option.
