FLPCI’s renowned design certificate course immerses students in over 84 hours 
of instruction. Our rigorous design practicum empowers you to design using 
the principles and methods of permaculture.

Our teachers, including guest speakers, are working experts in land use, 
design, research, governance, business and teaching. Michael Burns, Rafter 
Sass Ferguson, Steve Gabriel, and Karryn Olson-Ramanujan bring thousands of 
hours of permaculture teaching experience to people of all backgrounds and 
experiences.

Our curriculum, refined over nine years and eleven certificate courses, 
continues to improve its integrity and relevance through student feedback, 
our assessment of their design work, and the latest research. Our teaching 
methods incorporate design work on real sites and hands-on experience with 
strategies like hot composting, mushroom inoculation, marking contours, and 
the siting of buildings and ponds on the landscape. Our field trips to Finger 
Lakes area urban, farm, and homestead demonstration sites give students real 
life examples of the success and challenges of applied permaculture design.

Our alumni repeatedly describe their 15 days of permaculture immersion as a 
paradigm-shifting, inspirational opportunity to reevaluate the systems and 
designs of their work, homes, and community projects. They appreciate the 
chance to study permaculture in our temporary learning community at a small 
off-grid farm. Graduates leave with new skills as well as a new network of 
colleagues that support their work creating regenerative livelihoods and 
homes.
