Hi,
that phenomenon seems to be around here in Texas. We are working to remove that by offering discounts to past students. We have tried 50% discounts and that has worked quite well. We also offer discounts to people bringing family members.

Greetings, Permies

I recently heard from a grapevine, about an agreement in the permaculture
community, under which students with prior certification can take
"refresher" permaculture certificate courses free of charge anywhere in the
world. Some people, I hear, use this rule differently, and offer only a
price reduction (i.e. instructor agrees to waive his/her fees, but there is
still a fee for attending). Some people have not heard about it.

My question for anyone on this list
- have you heard about this arrangement from a permaculture instructor
- are you a permaculture instructor, who respects and follows this rule
(i.e. teaches for free)
- are you a repeat student, who has had a chance to benefit from this rule
and take repeat courses free of charge, at a reduced price.

I would appreciate any feedback about this arrangement.

Best
