Event Description
This online Permaculture Design Certificate Course focusses on the Permaculture design system: it's fundamental tools and strategies that can be applied at scales from the home garden to city block to village to farm. Although rooted in horticulture and agriculture, Permaculture design is interdisciplinary, touching on a wide range of subjects including regional planning, ecology, animal husbandry, appropriate technology, architecture, and international development.
The combined Hort 285 & 286 certificate course takes students on a journey to design the site of their choice, where the curriculum and assignments all build towards the creation of an integrated site design.
The course consists of narrated slide shows by experienced Permaculture instructors, educational video tours with knowledgable guides, and interactive assignments, working towards the completion of a Permaculture site design.
Students present their work on individual blogs, which are visible for other students to comment on, and through discussion boards the community of learning is encouraged.
Oregon State University’s online Permaculture course can be taken as an introduction to Permaculture (Hort 285) or as the full internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certificate Course (Hort 285 + Hort 286).

Looking forward to taking this course. After many years farming and landscaping it will good to immerce myself in permaculture material and thinking with Andrew and the others.
I'm currently reading Bill Mollison's book 'Permaculture' and so impressed with his depth of understanding.

John,
The course is project based, the whole curriculum and assignments build around the design project. There are open book quizzes just to make sure all the readings and videos are done, but the main assignments are the core of the course.
Take care,
Andrew

Andrew,
I took the Master Gardeners course on-line...it worked very well. The key items for obtaining the certificate were weekly quiz and of course the final exam. How will this course certificate be granted...based on on-line exam scores primarily?
Hope your doing well...still thinking well & with thanks for the wonderful dinner after the Descent course at Chez Millison!

Yes, you can just take Hort 286 to complete your PDC work.
Thanks,
Andrew
