ACCREDITED PERMACULTURE TRAINING
Accredited Permaculture Training (APT) provides Nationally Recognised Training in Permaculture. Cydonia Permaculture offers training at various levels, including our post-PDC Certificate III programme. See our Accredited Permaculture Training page and our Certificate III in Permaculture page for more information.

'INTRODUCTION TO PERMACULTURE' WORKSHOPS
Our Introduction to Permaculture workshops have proved a very popular format for introducing permaculture concepts. Dependent on your group's needs these can be run over two, three or four days, in a format that suits you. We can run these workshops at your local Neighbourhood House, Community Garden, or anywhere else there is a group of interested people. These workshops can lead into our Accredited Permaculture Training programmes
. For more information contact us.

RESIDENTIAL PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE
We regret that our regular Residential PDC held at Commonground will not be running this year due to the Australian Permaculture Convergence (APC10) being held in Cairns in September. For more details see: www.apc10.org
