Accredited Permaculture TrainingTM (APT) provides a mechanism for gaining a Nationally Recognised certificate in permaculture. It is recognised by the
Australian Quality Training Framework, the government body responsible for accrediting vocational training. For more information on APT, including a full subject list, see the Permaculture International website.

 
Cydonia Permaculture is offering APT in partnership with Eltham Collage Training Services, our partnership Registered Training Organisation. For more information on Eltham Collage please see their website. Cydonia Permaculture is registered provide all five levels of APT training, however courses will only run according to demand in each year. Please contact us with your expressions of interest so we know where this demand lies. We expect to be running Certificate III and Diploma courses in 2009 and over the summer of 08/09. We will also be able to run Certificate I programmes for community groups or schools if requested.

Certificate I in Permaculture  is a basic course useful for group training for those working on community or school garden projects, and for those doing jobs market activities such as Work for the Dole. It is also a suitable course for school students. Some groups have found that a Certificate I is a useful and economical follow-on from an Introduction to Permaculture short-course. We can tailor the programme to suit your workplace or school.

Certificate III in Permaculture is a very hands-on certificate giving participants the skills and knowledge to create productive, functioning permaculture systems. There are two ways to complete the Certificate III with Cydonia Permaculture. Firstly, as a follow-on from a PDC - the PDC provides much of the theoretical knowledge that can then be built upon with practical projects and activities. For more about this course format please see our separate Certificate III page. The other way is from scratch, without the PDC. The latter option might be useful for groups wanting Accredited Training over a period of time in a particular locality.

Diploma of Permaculture is a course involving not only the
design, creation and maintenance of permaculture systems but also skills in management and research. This course is still in the planning stages for 2009 so please contact us for details and expressions of interest.
