Our heartfelt commitment at the Permaculture Education Institute is to help people become skilled and confident permaculture educators — however that might look.
With the skills in design and teaching, those studying with us are offering classes of all kinds to a wide range of people, including:
- Urban and rural permaculture courses
- Workshops about simple living at home
- Refugee food security programs
- Eco-literacy with schoolchildren
- NGO up-skilling
- University lecturing
- Professional development for educators and designers

Our core program, the Permaculture Educators Program, weaves together design and education in a comprehensive and practical way.
So, even before you have finished studying, you have an amazing design on a site of your choice, and you have started teaching your own locally-adapted permaculture program in the place you are, with the people you want to work with, in a way that makes local cultural sense.
