UPGRADE FAQ

Can I upgrade at a later time? When is the last date I can upgrade my package?

If you register for our Foundational PDC package or our online course, you can still upgrade at a later time. However, if you have registered from an in-person course we do ask that you complete the upgrade within ten days of completing your in-person permaculture design course.

After I complete my upgrade, how long will it take to get / view the features and tangible products?

Once payment is received, we ask that you give us one business day to add the online / digital feature(s) to your Student Dashboard page.

If your upgrade includes a physical copy of the book, Introduction to Permaculture, we will do one of two things:

1- If the course is upcoming, we will deliver those items to you at the course

2 – If the course is already completed, we will put those items in the mail asap (postage is complimentary).

What are the price options or packages for your PDC courses? What’s included in each?

Whether you’re looking to practice permaculture in your own backyard, or whether you’re envisioning a farm or a full-time consulting practice, this program is set up to suit your needs. So we offer our new Online course, our in-person Foundational course, and a deluxe in-person Premium course including added benefits to help launch your personal permaculture projects or career.
